EXTRACTED REQUEST: THE NUTS ARE GETTING WELDED TO THE PART AT THE SAME TIME THE GUSSETS ARE

RECOVERED CONVERSATION EXCERPTS
USER MESSAGES:
1. HOW DO I ADD NUTS TO THIS WELDMENT PART
2. THE NUTS ARE GETTING WELDED TO THE PART AT THE SAME TIME THE GUSSETS ARE

ASSISTANT RESPONSES:
1. Since this is a weldment part, not an assembly, you have a few options depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Option 1 (Recommended for Manufacturing Drawings) If the nuts are welded to the bracket and you just want them shown on the drawing/BOM: 1. Open the weldment part. 2. Go to Insert → Part. 3. Browse to a nut model from: - Toolbox (if installed) - McMaster-Carr download - Your company hardware library 4. Position the nut using mates/references during insertion. 5. Check Solid Bodies in the Feature Tree. The nut becomes another body inside the weldment part and can be included in the cut list/BOM.. Option 2 (Best for Detailed Assemblies) Convert it into an assembly: 1. Save the bracket as its own…
2. In that case I would still keep the nuts as separate components and create a weldment assembly, unless your company specifically models welded hardware inside the part file. For a fabricated weldment like this, you have three common approaches: Method 1 - Assembly (What I'd Do) - Bracket = Part - Nuts = Parts - Create assembly - Mate nuts to holes - Add weld symbols or weld beads - BOM shows: - 1 Bracket - 2 Nuts This is the cleanest method and matches how the shop actually builds it.. Method 2 - Insert Nuts Into the Part If you need everything to live in a single weldment file: 1. Open the nut model. 2. Copy the nut body. 3. Go back to your weldment part. 4. Insert → Part 5. Select the nut file. 6. Position i…
