How do I get the FeatureScript Beams to recognize the new profiles that I creat?

jerry_harolw · November 2016

I made a copy of the Beams script (named it FeatureScript ModifledBeams), Added the profile for 1" X 1" to the profile list, changed the "beamProfileTable" constant to "beamProfileTableMod" in both the beam profile and beam feature tabs. When I load the ModifledBeams into the document it does not show the 1X1. If I open the Beams from the Parts Studio it does not have the 1X1 listed. How do I get the Beam feature side to recognize the modified table? By the way the 2X4 that was created in the Webinar does not show up either. As you might have guessed I am not a programmer. TIA Jerry

I don't seem to have that option.

This is the one I am trying to use

I started over and made it a private document, no joy.

Where do I go to tell it to use my copy?

Should I shift this over to the weldments thread?

I have no idea what I did but it is now working. I was messing around with my copy of the Beam document and I started editing the Cross Frame tab, I removed the BE icon and reinstalled it and it listed the new profiles. It also is working correctly in new documents. If insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, what is doing the same thing over and over and getting different results?

Hi Jerry, make sure you are referencing the correct script. Please see the last comment here: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/4902/weldments-in-onshape#latest
