XS_​AISC_​WELD_​MARK

Category in Advanced options dialog box: Welds

Set this advanced option to TRUE to create AISC weld marks, to use leg length as default fillet weld size dimensioning, and to create arrow side weld using below line weld properties.

Set this advanced option to FALSE to create ISO weld marks, to use throat thickness as default fillet weld size dimensioning, and to create arrow side weld using above line weld properties. FALSE is the default value.

This advanced option also affects the spacing of intermittent welds:

  • TRUE uses the Pitch value entered in the weld properties as the center-to-center spacing of welds.

  • FALSE uses the Pitch value entered in the weld properties as the spacing between the welds.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.

Note:

The XS_AISC_WELD_MARK advanced option is delivered with model folder files. If you need to deliver the model to another party, send the full model with all files (not just the model database file *.db1) to ensure that the weld cross section size remains the same. If the value for this advanced option is changed, then the actual weld cross-section size will change accordingly.
