I can't see how to create a cutout of the yellow shape in any part that would come into contact with the red surface. A kind of automatic mortise, the ideal would be that it adapts to the thickness of the part, but hey...
This in an assembly, i.e. SW's mortise and tenon tool does not work.
I thought about a library function, but how do I apply this function to the green surface, which can change in thickness? I can arrange for the length of the tenon to be fixed, the width too, but the thickness depends on the sheet metal used....
I'm dry, especially since I don't often practice library functions.
You have to go through a family of parts that would be controlled by an Excel table. Execel allows easy updating and consistency checks by rules contained in formulas specific to your company
So you can have the length, width of the mortise you want and also the pitch between each mortise without limitation of length since you are making profiles.
Too many different cases for a spreadsheet, we only do tailor-made and the application cases are really varied and difficult to manage in a family of parts.
AC Cobra 427, exactly you understood everything!! It will save me from having to make dozens of mortises for each frame I create. Once the function is applied to my tenon, hop a removal of material to any part that I put in front of it. It can be another profile, a simple sheet metal, a part from a sub-assembly etc...
Antho, OK that's what the help says, but in an ASM, I can't find the command, even when searching via the "search" field at the top right.
Anyway, my post must be in my part file, since I have to unfold the profile to cut it with a laser.....
I did a removal of material in the assembly, but you can't make it a library function.......
Well, because I want to remove material from a piece other than the one that serves as a reference for my function.
When I create my function and save it to the library, it works, but when I want to apply it to a tenon of a part in an assembly, I get an error message (see attached screenshot)
Once the function is applied to my tenon, hop a removal of material to any part that I put in front of it.
In the solution proposed by gt22 (sorry friend) the function remains in the assembly but not in the part file since
Huber says Anyway, my post must be in my part file, since I have to unfold the profile to cut it with a laser.....
This is possible by making an edition of the nopn coin pierced but already assembled.
Once you are in editing, you create a sketch using the "convert entities" function to create your sketches, then remove material from the resulting sketch.
When you exit the edit and save the ASM, well all the modifications are in your room as you wish. Ready for flattening and laser cutting
It took me 3 minutes to do it and above all no mistakes.
EDIT : Damned is the same idea as @gt22 and @ G. in the topic
@ gt22 STP makes a "pack and go" for your ASM otherwise we can't open because it's looking for the parts.
