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.
