    Looking for correct weld symbology

    @kingnero, thanks for the affirmation on that. @gtaw, yep! I worked in bodyweld at Toyota for a few years, so I'm very familiar with how things should be done, or are normally done. Spent some quality time teaching weld robots. I also worked in the greater Detroit area myself for many years...

    I have a sheet metal welding requirement that does not seem to fit neatly into any of the standard weld type callouts. Typically, the sheet metal being welded together is 16ga. (.060") thick. I've used the fillet weld symbol in the past as a more-or-less generic weld symbol, but obviously this...
