How to trim/edit in assembly to make intersect and join parts

[tis07282015]

See attached files. Is it possible to miter trim channels and make a frame to desired size .

While ago I posted about factory file, got answers but I steel don't know where should I look for factory file. Possible to have steps to find factory file ? I am not so familiar to Inventor. 

Thanks

The easy way to do this is in the Frame Generator environment of Inventor.

Hi @tis07282015,

Thanks for your post.

As @JDMather said, you can easily use the Frame Generator which uses a Skeleton model reference geometry:

I finally created a frame. Now I want to change size of frame. That means I have to edit skeleton, tried to change dimensions, no option there. Is is possible to edit and change frame size ?

Thanks

I believe it to be dynamic so you shoudl just have to change the skeletons dimensions and parameters.

How do I change skeleton dimensions. It does not allow me to do that.

Double click on the part in the assembly hierachy.

To use the Frame-Gen module.

The part that you originally created to define the frame dimensions is the part to edit.  The Skeleton part is derived from that part and is not editable.  You are looking too far down in the assembly hierarchy.
