PWATSON Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I have created some custom stock sheet metal sizes for heavy plate that we use regularly. 1/4" thru 1 1/4" plate. I realize these technically are not sheet metal however I have done this because of the functionality of creating DXF files from Iron cad mechanical where I can have the dxf file populated with the material name, file name ect for sheetmetal parts. My question - Is there an option to drop in a round piece of stock? Every time I want to make circular plate I have to drop in a square sheet and then sketch a circle on it.

IronKevin Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 You could make one, then drop it into the Catalog for further use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWATSON Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Thanks Kevin... How would i do that and be able to modify the diameter and thickness upon dropping it in...Or do i have to make one for each size i want to use, which quite frankly could be hundreds of variations would that be using parameters and design variations - both which I am quite unfamiliar with using.
