Haven't gotten around to it yet, but have been thinking about creating an iPart or iLogic-driven part of some sort to do this. A built-in solution would be great, especially if it had the ability to automatically change the cap plate to match when the tube size changes.
i dont mean to stick salt on the wound but i think Inventor could learn alot from SWX and the way they deal with their frame generation.. it shouldnt take longer to model and print a small model than it takes to actually build it.
just cause it can do anything doesnt mean that the user should have to do everything!

I've been using solidworks for the last couple of years now, but still prefer using inventor but due to inventor not having the end cap feature. My line manager has no other option than to use solidworks, because our company builds hollow section frame structures. I've also seen this feature has been requested many times dating back from 2010 that I can see on the net.
And now it's 2017. Any idea as to if and when this may be implemented and released? I too use SolidWorks and Inventor. They both excel and have issues in different areas. End caps sure would be nice as they are quite common. Their absence in Inventor is a design hinderance.
To anyone senior at Autodesk who can get things implemented in Inventor updates,
Its about time this is implemented.
I am a gun at this package (Inventor) but things like this get extremely annoying when it still cost me time to model end caps in Frame generator. It should by now be auto generated in frame generator.
