Frame generator custom values

[CADone]

Hi,

Is there a way to customise the frame generator selections. See the attachment. I need a size of 2 x 2 x 1/8. I dont see this listed.

How can I get one there?

Thanks

I could find a lovely tutorial for this. Here is the link.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is how to do it. I am not willing to explain a step by step process via this forum or email. But if you look thru the help files and experiment with the output you can really improve the BOM info which will speed up the creation of parts list and material cut lists and add all of the sizes that are available in the real world.

I have modified several of the libraries to take care of this problem and changed the text that is generated for these shapes and added all of the missing sizes. It can be time consuming but I thought it was worth the effort. I have considered posting a version for down load but I am not ready to do that at this time.

My approach to this was to setup a custom library and modify the Content Center files by adding iProperties and sizes to the existing library file based on the ANSI standard provided with Content Center.

Good Luck!
