XS_AISC_WELD_MARK
Category in Advanced options dialog: Welds
Set this advanced option to TRUE to create
AISC-compliant weld marks, to
use leg length as default fillet weld size dimensioning, and to create arrow side
weld using the below line weld properties.
Set this advanced option to FALSE to create
ISO-compliant weld marks, to use throat thickness as default fillet weld size
dimensioning, and to create arrow side weld using the above line weld properties.
FALSE is the default
value.
This advanced option also affects the spacing of intermittent welds:
-
TRUEuses the Pitch value entered in the weld properties as the center-to-center spacing of welds. -
FALSEuses the Pitch value entered in the weld properties as the spacing between the welds.

The AISC weld mark also complies with the American Welding Society (AWS) standard.

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.
