End Cap button for frame generator?

[Joe_Banger]

Hello

Coming from a solidworks background, i frequently use weldments, or Inventor's equivalent - frame generator.

Wondering if there was a solidworks 'end cap' equivalent.  

See http://help.solidworks.com/2013/English/SolidWorks/sldworks/c_Weldments_End_Caps.htm?id=cd23f257ca8a... for details, essentially a weldment driven and generated part which doesn't need much thinking about.

Be great to get some info.

Hi Joe_Banger,

This question has been asked a lot in the past, so you might find some suggestions in those old threads found by using the search tool:

But to answer your question, Inventor does not currently have a button for doing this, but you can show your support for adding this functionality by giving this IdeaStation idea a kudo at this link:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
