    Default Frame Generator Part File Creation

    Summary: Identical parts should be reused, currently a separate part file is created for every frame member.

    Description: File naming desperately needs attention. Frame Generator automatically generates a bogus folder which has no job specific application or usefulness and then for each part you name you have to go back and re-establish its folder orgin. This should only need to be done once, with an option to choose another if so desired. The default is useless, so consequently you have to use browse for ever part you generate. Also, THIS IS HUGH, some of the parts generated are EXACTLY the same and should be an instance, rather than being forced to have a unique file name for every generated part.

    How Used: The wish is self-explanatory. The file naming needs to be fine tuned, more flexible, and more intuitive.

    Default Re: Frame Generator Part File Creation

    this can be quite an unnecessary use of system resources when you have to do a large floor system for example and there are many identical joists. But couldn't you just array those instead of creating new parts? and what would you do if one (or more) pieces were just slightly different? for example, you later discover that you need to bolt a cross-member between two pieces to accommodate a hole.
