Is this question relating to weldments?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FOR YOUR HELP. YES MY QUESTION WAS RELATED TO WELDMENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOME SPECIAL MADE PROFILES INTO THE SW PROFILE LIST. i WANT TO ADD THEM WHENEVER I NEED.

To create a new weldment profile:

Open a new part and sketch a profile. Add additional points for use in the 'locate Profile' facility.

Close the sketch.

In the FeatureManager design tree, select the Sketch.

Save As, choosing the 'Lib Feat Part (*.sldlfp)' option.
