Set the visibility and appearance of welds

Modify the display settings to define how welds appear in the model.

  1. Double-click the view to open the View Properties dialog box.
  2. Click Display... to open the Display dialog box.
  3. Ensure that the Welds check box is selected.
  4. Select a representation option for welds:
    • Fast

      Use this option to show the weld symbols only.

    • Exact

      Use this option to show welds as solid objects with weld symbols, and to display weld marks when you select welds.

    • Exact - no weld mark

      Use this option to show welds as solid objects without weld symbols. Weld marks will not be displayed when you select welds.

  5. Ensure that the view is being selected.
  6. Click Modify to apply the changes.
    Note:

    If the representation option is Exact and you still cannot see the weld object in the model, check that the following properties have been defined for the weld in question:

    • Size

    • Type

    • Angle

    • Root opening
