Hi Chris,
Welds are created as weld points or weld lines. These objects contain not only the weld properties but also the
logical connection between connected structural parts.
With the Advance ASTemplate.dwt standard template, weld points are created as individual elements in the
form of a pink cross whereas weld lines are represented in the model as thick polylines.
Weld patterns are created using the “Weld point” and “Weld line” tools the Connection Objects panel of the
Objects tab.
• To create a weld point with its information, click on the Connection Objects panel of the Objects
tab. Select the objects to connect, press Enter, and enter the center point of the weld to be created.
• To create a weld line with its information, click on the Connection Objects panel of the Objects tab.
Select the objects to connect, press Enter, and enter the start point for the first weld line and one or more
end points.
Weld objects can store information separately for the upper and lower weld: basic weld, surface shape, weld
design, weld thickness; weld definition: weld location, single length, circular (continuous); display type: “Standard”
or “Off” to hide the weld; “additional information” option to add weld text for additional information.
