Need Help Checking Work

[tonyVLW6V]

Hi, Tony here and im very new to any type of CADsoftware and design. Trying to learn off Youtube videos and trial and error.

Ive made a welding table design to fit a specific area in my shed so off the shelf tables wouldnt work. Before i send it to the laser cutter, is it possible for someone to check my work for errors and interferance?

This is the first multi component design and ive had a few cracks at it. Any advise for better work flow etc would be appreciated. I can do version 5 if required.

I hope the attachment works.

Thanks

Rather than pattern circles in sketch for holes, create one Hole and pattern Feature. (You did this for the dogbones.)

Fully define every sketch to avoid inadvertent errors.

Use Assembly Joints or Constraints rather than Position.  Will automatically update with any changes.

I did not see anything terrible.  Just tighten up three techniques suggested.

Maybe Pattern Components as another suggestion.

Edit: Hold on - we appear to have issues with the LegPlates...

Thanks for the advise.

The leg plates, i drew a rectangle then used offset to reduce thesize by 0.2mm. Then i drew rectangles for the tabs before extruding. It must not have attached to the original rectangle.

Fixed i think. Ther was a small sliver the size of the offset i didnt click when i did the extrude between the large rectangle and the tabs. Went back and edited the extrude feature and selected everything by zooming right in. New file attached.

I did Leg Plate 1 again and patterned the hole feature as above.

Thanks
