Create a Custom Rectangular Tube

Create a Custom Rectangular Tube

In equipment and jig design, rectangular tubes are often used as base frames or bracket attachments.
This section explains how to create a rectangular tube of any size.

You can easily create one using the [Extrude] from the [Shapes] Catalog, combined with the [Blend Edges] and [Shell Part] commands in the [Feature] tab.
Notes
For special sizes, you can register a single rectangular tube shape to the catalog and reuse it by simply adjusting parameters such as size, outer corner radius, and thickness.
