I am new to SolidWorks with some background in Pro/E.
I am designing a framing system using 1x1 in. square tubing. I am wondering what the best approach or workflow is to have multiple parts having the same general feature (in this case 1x1 in. square with 0.125" thickess tubing) but with different lengths.
Is there some type of relationship I can make to have all 1x1 square tubing have the same "sketch" feature but I can designate each a different length? In case I want to chage from 1x1 to say 1.5x1.5 without having to update ALL parts? I could just simply modify the "template" part.
How would most of you implement for instance the PVC tubing in the design libray of SW 2006(Design Library > routing > conduit > pvcconduit)? Assembling multiple pvcconduits of different length? Establish exactly what you want before modeling?
Thank you.
