Define automatic model weld properties in drawings

You can define what the model welds look like in your drawings before you create the drawing.

  1. On the Drawings & reports tab, click Drawing properties and select the drawing type.
  2. Load drawing properties that are as close to the ones you need as possible.
  3. Single-part and assembly drawings: Click View creation in the options tree on the left, select the view and the properties that you want to change, and click View properties.
  4. Click Weld.
  5. On the Content tab, define the visibility settings:
    • In Welds and Welds in sub-assemblies, select Not visible, Site weld visible, Workshop weld visible, or Both visible.
    • In Weld size limit, enter a weld size to filter out welds of that size and smaller.

      This is useful when you only want to show non-typical welds in a drawing.

      To set whether the weld size is an exact or minimum value, use the advanced option XS_WELD_FILTER_TYPE.

      To filter out a standard weld type, use the advanced option XS_OMITTED_WELD_TYPE.

      Note that you can also set the Weld size limit for all views in the drawing at one go at the bottom of the View creation page in assembly and single-part drawing properties.

    • In Representation, select Outline or Path, and enable Hidden lines and Own hidden lines, if required.
  6. On the Appearance tab, modify the color and line as required.
  7. Single-part, assembly and cast unit drawings: Click Save to save the view properties. Then click Close to return to drawing properties.
  8. General arrangement drawings: Click OK.
  9. Click Save to save the drawing properties, then click OK and create the drawing.
