Welding note issues

Below is a screen print of a welding note that I am trying to fix. It seems that Creo puts a "1" at the end of the tail for some reason that I can not delete. To be honest, I'm not sure how I finally got the weld procedure "GTAW" to show up in the note, but it will not delete the "1:". Does anyone know how to do this? Also, is there a way to turn on or off the depth, gap and distance dimensions also shown?

Not sure what version you are on but in Creo, it is a custom symbol. If you select it, it should open the symbol dialog. Grouping determines what is shown and the variable text allows you to change the values.

The 1:GTAW is probably from manually editing the /reference/ variable.

If this is Pro/E V5 or before, I am not sure how you interface with the symbol.

I am using Creo. The field "variable text" is where I seem to have the problem. It is grey'd out and can not be manipulated.

Oh, that is sad

Is this the case if you turn off the reference in grouping and then re-apply it? I noticed everything is cleared if you switch "sides" in Grouping.

What if you place a new symbol?

If a new symbol also doesn't work, then someone locked the properties of /reference/. What is under dependencies?

For some reason, you have a Dependencies tab that I don't get on my screen. I created mine in the drawing, not in the model.

Are you, by chance, using the built-in weld symbols that are automatically created from the welding module/application in Creo?
