Add Tungsten to material library

Thomas_Savage — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 15:02:33 GMT

Hello,

Has anyone added Tungsten to the material library?

If so could they explain how they did it please.

Or how to do it, never added a new materiel before.

Thanks,

Thomas.

This should get you started. (see attached)

I will make a video later if this doesn't help.

I think that maybe TFI CAD Tips already has a video.

I would create a Custom library

then Categories within that library (Steel, Aluminum, Plastic...)

Copy an existing similar material from the Inventor or Autodesk library into your new custom library.

Edit as needed.

Greetings,

I know this is digging up the past, but, was there significance to the name "DSG 326 Materials"?

Thank you!

Best regards,
