Help to make a connector on round segment with fold tabs

Anonymous · ‎05-04-2016

Hello.

Could anyone help me on how to make fold-tabs like shown on photo, ex 30mm x 30mm

What CID number is that? Right click on the item and select properties, it should be listed in there somewhere. Some items have Options to control elements like that, otherwise I'm not too sure. I don't think you can apply a castle notch directly to a connector (which would be useful). There is an option to control hole spacing on round connectors, however I don't know enough about this function to whether this may be a relevant option.

The best (by no means a good one) option to my knowledge would be to make a connector that gives you the requires length and have someone cut out the tabs. Sorry I couldn't be more useful.

If my post answers your question, please click... Just kidding!

Hi, thank you for youre answer.

It's CID 51.

Today we add the connector all the way and cut it out manualy, but there is a big production of this items so it would be realy helpful to get this cutted out on the plasma right away.

It kind of a simple connection, so it's strange why its so dificult to get it in the program.

No worries,

It is a very simple connection, and I find it incredibly frustating that we cannot do a lot of these simple things. Don't get me started...

On second thought however, if you are producing a high quantity of these items you could make some DXF's including the notch out and just nest those. You won't get the same level of detail on labels and reports regarding connectors and seams. However, it would save you a load of time in the workshop.
