Weld Beads in Drawings
Weld Beads in Drawings
(OP)
Good afternoon. I am finally on SW2013 and we have recently started to using weld beads in our assemblies, which we can see. My question is, is there away to make the weld beads visible in the drawings? I would like to see more that the weld symbol in the drawing. Thanks in advance for any advise.

It only did basic but weld fillets.
And it's pointless to see this in a drawing...
You will use the WELD SYMBOL TOOL to annotate your drawing... right?
Unless you need to see this in a model for a pretty picture...
Then I think you'll have to make these "manually".
... unless the weld bead tool is vastly improved in 2012 & 13.

Insert, Model Items, Caterpillar
If you make a multibody weldment (assembly) file from a .SLDPRT, you can place weld beads in that file. They will then be physically shown on the drawing.
The help files should be beneficial as well.

If a weld bead has been applied in the assy nodel, the Caterpillar can be inserted to a drawing view via Insert > Model items > Annotations > Caterpillar.
