Weldment Workflow

Is anyone using Onshape to do weldments with post machined processes? We have created a workflow to accomplish this but is cumbersome and prone to mistakes.

  • Create part studio with unique components

  • Create assembly with any duplicate plates etc.

  • Part studio in context
  • Transform > Copy in Place

  • Composite Part
  • Add machined features to the composite part

Although this gets us there it relies on several steps and ensuring you have the right stuff set as not revision managed, etc. Has anyone else tackled this problem or come up with a better solution?
