searched all the posts in this NG and haven't found anything like this. My
aplogies if this has already been covered.
Our company uses mostly steel
shapes. I would like to set up an ipart (I think?) to be able to bring them
into an assembly and input the length but then become adaptable also (for easy
revisions). I would like to have the following items shoe up in my parts list:
Itm, Qty, Description (W6"x15# for example) Length,Mass.
So far I have dwonloaded a few iparts of steel shapes from Charles bliss'
site. I have managed to get it use the "Length" parameter in the parts list.
I'm stuck trying to get the description.
If I can figure out one shape, then it will be easy to do the same for the
others.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I know there was a nice little program someone
created called "Steel Creator" which runs with Inventor. It's on Sean's
site.

Right off Sean's
Site:
9/6/02 - Dave Adams has written an add on for
Inventor entitled "Steel Creator" that creates steel sections, pipes, channels
etc. It's pretty handy. I have agreed to host it for him on this site. Until I
can get a proper page in place this news item will suffice.
href="http://www.steelcreator.com/">Screenshot & Description. ~~~
href="http://www.sdotson.com/vba/Steel%20Creator%20v2.zip">Download. Note:
It was recently discovered that this program has a problem running on Windows
XP. It will run once but the second time you try to run the program it will not
load. David Adams has been made aware of this issue and I will be sure to report
when the problem has been corrected. UPDATE:9/12/02: A
new version has been uploaded that is both smaller and appears to work on XP.
You can use the same link above to download
itUPDATE:9/17/02:Another vesrion (v2.0) has replaced the older
version. It now allows the creation of parts into a user library. Use the same
links above to download.

looked as well and could not find it. (steel creator)
Sean, I've already manged to get the custom length property to appear in my
parts list. It's the description that I can't get to show up. I'm using the
wide flange ipart from Charles Bliss' site. In the "weight" column it has
"size" and "weight" as a concatenated value. This is the value I wish to
display in my parts list.
Jim was it? (sorry if incorrect)
I was trying to download the demo version of PowerSteel as suggested but
lost my connection. I'm going to try again. This software does sound like it
does exactly what we want it to do. However it doesn't say if the demo is
compatible with R6. I'll try it anyway.
Thanks all for the help, I'll keep you all posted
