Creating a Weld

You can create a weld. You can set text properties either before or after you create the text.

Before you begin: Open a drawing representation.

  1. Click Weld in the Annotations toolbar.

    Note: By default this command is not available in the Annotations toolbar. However, you can obtain it by customizing the toolbar. Refer Infrastructure User's Guide: Customizing for more information.

  2. Select a first element. For example, a line.

  3. Select a second element. For example, another line. The default weld automatically appears on the drawing.



    The Welding Editor dialog box appears.

  4. If needed, modify the weld. For example, modify the thickness from ten to five millimeters.



  5. If needed, modify the type of the weld by clicking the Change Type icon at the right of the Welding Editor dialog box.

  6. Click OK. The weld is created.



Important:
  • You cannot modify the area fill corresponding to the weld.
  • Welds are not associative to the geometry. Therefore, if you modify the geometry, the weld will not move accordingly.
