Weld Beads
Weld Beads
(OP)
I am trying to add weld symbols to a SolidWorks sheetmetal part that has the sides folded up and the corners welded.
I can't insert a weld bead on this part.
Does anyone have a solution or a work-around to get the SolidWorks weld symbols into my drawing?

The work around I use (only in cases where the welding symbol, in the drawing, is not enough) is to create parts, with the form of the pretended welds, and assemble them. Much more control and success of the result.

Incidentally you can only insert a weld into a model within the context of an assembly. The weld bead is essentially a new part created in context.
