Hello

See the help page:

http://help.solidworks.com/2015/French/SolidWorks/sldworks/t_Weldments_Creating_a_Custom_Profile.htm

Welded Constructions - Create a Custom Profile

You can create your own welded construction profiles to use when creating welded members. You create the profile as a library function part, and then save it to a defined location for later selection.

Additional profiles are available in the Design tab_Design_Library.gifLibrary tab . Under SOLIDWORKS Content Open_in_SW.gif, in the Welded Constructions folder, objects to download the Ctrl files + click. zip

To create a welded construction profile:

  1. Open a new room.
  2. Sketch a profile. When creating a welded member using the profile, remember that:

     

    • The origin of the sketch becomes the default meeting point.
    • You can select any vertex or point in the sketch as the alternate meeting point.

     

  3. Close the sketch.
  4. In the FeatureManager authoring tree, select Sketch1.
  5.  Click File > Save As.
  6. In the dialog box, do the following :
    1. In Save to, browse to the dossier_d'installation\lang\langue\weldment profiles and select (or create) the appropriate and <type> subfolders.<norme>  Welded Constructs - File locations for custom profiles.
    2. Select Lib Feat Part (*.sldlfp) from the Type list .
    3. Type a File Name.
    4.  Click Save.

       

      The name you give to the library function part appears in the Size list of the Welded Element PropertyManager when you create a welded element. For example, if the profile name is 1x1x.125.sldlfp, then 1x1x.125 appears in the Size list .  If you name the part big.sldlfp, then big appears in the Size list .
