Weld symbol for ISO standard in Creo 12.4 is supporting ISO2553:1984, acc to PTC Help and the PTC articles CS465068 & CS303110.

This creates huge problems for companies that must be certified against ISO 3834-2. Which is applicable for example for companies with in the nuclear power industry. This companies are now forced to either create new custom symbols, (Which is quite complicated) or to make “fake” the symbols on the drawing adding lines and text manually.

I suggest that the weld ISO weld symbols are updated acc. to latest ISO 2553 standard, that would be the one from 2019, Edition 5.
