Small tubing for frame generator ?

[Retselnitram]

Does anybody know where I can download smaller square tubing for frame generator? Like 1/8x1x1 and 1/8x1-1/2x1-1/2

I know I did it for inventor 2009 but  I don't know where I got it  and how I did it anymore.

Thanks in advance

You can create your own profiles pretty easily.

I will take a look this evening and see what I can come up with.

I have the ANSI-AISC library for 2011 available on the downloads site at:

Unzip this file in your CC library location. Let me know what you think and if you would like any advice on changing it to suit your needs. I believe these two files contain every Square Tube size and wall thickness in the Central, Ryerson, & Jorgeson steel stock lists.

Good job, Paul!

[Retselnitram]

Could you tell me where my cc library location is that I'm to drop the files into?

See the attached screen capture. Your actual location will be shown on your Application Options and is probably not the same as the one shown in the screen capture.

OK here is the screen capture for anyone else who is needing it.

It can be also found while editing your Projects folder, Icon on the lower RH side of the Projects edit box. Accessing this will list your Libraries and it includes a link that will open your Windows Explorer to the correct directory.

Thanks for the files!

But I'd like to make some changes. How do you get rid of this as you can see on the attached. I can't seem to find where it is coming from.

You will need to check your CC library. Depending on the CC library you used, you may need to export and import into "MyLibrary" and edit to eliminate this field.

There should be a good PDF installed with the software or within the Autodesk Wiki-Help

If you want to change just the parts as you use them you need to edit each file in the BOM editor. If you want to change the output from the CC file you need to edit the CC family table. If you don't know how to do that please read the attached document.
