    Re: notching tubes in solidworks

    Thanks for the link. Can see how that might be helpful if you wanted to use paper templates to notch tubes, but that whole slicing through the tube workaround seems a little bit ridiculous. Especially when a much less expensive program ($275) like Bend-Tech Pro can do that kind of stuff automatically. Bend-Tech offers a SW plug-in module that I'm sure would make all of this much faster/easier, but it costs $800 and I was hoping there might be a more elegant way to do this in SW. Seems like something this simple/basic should be a feature in Weldments.

    Posted this question on the SolidWorks forum, hoping we might get some help. If this feature is really missing, it needs to be added.
