Weld Symbol Tail
Weld Symbol Tail
(OP)
SolidWorks 2014. Old hand at SW, new to the company. I need to add weld symbols to drawings but when I open the weld symbol insert command I don't see the expected box at the right of the symbol for notes that'll add the tail to the symbol. See attached image. Does anybody know how to adjust the command box so I can add tail to the symbol?

This also affects other data boxes.

RE: Weld Symbol Tail
We resolved the issue by:
* opening a drawing
* Tools> customize> Toolbars tab
* deselecting " use operating system scale
* selecting small font
Unchecking has solved the problem, but when I loaded SW this morning, it was checked again, so this is not a permanent solution.
Below are the additional dialog boxes.
These are the dialog boxes that I have found so far. Perhaps this will give a clue as to where the problem originates.
BOM properties
Hardware Library - Select Configurations
Assembly context sketch notification
Properties - ANSI Weld Symbols and GOST Weld Symbols
(interesting enough, all of the other weld dialog boxes open completely, but I use ANSI 99% of the time)
ANSI weld dialog box in the model also does not open completely either.
