FAQ's and search seemed to offer no help so I'm appealing to the masses. Is there a weld symbol for spot welds (RWS) available for SW? If not, is there a way to add one to the library?

??? Insert\Annotations\Weld symbol. Then click the "Weld Symbol" button and select the Spot weld.

But this is so obvious, I have a feeling you're looking for something else. If so, how is it different from the symbol provided for the callout?
 
wgchere,
Many thanks. You are correct, I was looking under the wrong area. Maybe as a newbie to SW I can be forgiven by the CAD gods.
Again, thanks.

wgchere,
I was looking for something comparable to the weld bead to be use for the spotweld. "Symbol" was perhaps not the correct word. Can you think of anything in SW to do the job?

You could just create a circular surface at the spot weld position ... or a small recess.

[cheers]
