Both Sides Weld Symb Callout on Drawing?

[New@ProE]

Am using WF 3 -- When needing to detail drawing with "Fillet Weld symbol - Both Sides"callout, I cannot find symbol showing both sides. Default symbol options are "Arrow side" or "Other side" only, NOT BOTH. And, the weld symbol line is way too long. Would anyone happen to havea good symbol in their library they would like to share?


Thanks,

sorry i have no library but if you have pro-weld included in your set up you could create the weld then show erase the symbol in


to find out if you have pro-weld start an assembly then under applications it will say welding

ice8,


First of all, have never used the Pro Weld. Would love to learn how -- If you know of a tutorial on how to get started I will appreciate it very much . . .


Secondly, I need to finish an assembly detail drawing, but cannot find a Weld Symbol that will allow/place fillet symbol on Both sides of the leader line. I'm hoping that someone will know of a method to use or will have a symbol they can send me (PLEASE).


Thanks,

create new assembly


insert parts / go to applications/welding


insert weld (window pops up) click environment switch it to the light button


type size of fillet click the symetrical button hit ok


now it wants references but here is what we do differnetly


click the sketch tool and pick the surface you want it on the another ref


enter sketch mode and sketch the exact way it is to be welded


hit check mark / now by doing it this way all the lines you drew are already selected and the weld will be automatically attached and will update if you change the sketch


click ok thru the rest of the way


enter your drawing and use the show erase weld button


whalaa

is this what you're looking for? if it is, make a copy of your symbol (fillet)& name it what ever you want (2fillets). bring the new symbol up (2fillets) & redefine it. then add (sketch lines) two more triangles on top of the others. now save the symbol. i hope it help you


old method of doing it!

Insert > drawing symbol > custom > browse > System Syms > weldsymlib > iso_weld > combine.sym You can put any type of weld you want on this symbol, either one or two-sided.
