Welding symbols in drawing

Is there a way to put welding symbols in an engineering drawing in Creo 3.0? Specifically, I just want to define a groove weld on a pipe all the way around.

Actually, I just figured it out. In the 'Annotate' tab I selected 'Symbol' -> Custom Symbol -> Browse -> Program Files -> PTC -> Creo 3.0 -> M110 -> Common Files -> Symbols -> library_syms -> weldsymlib

Under Annotate Tab select symbol > system syms > weldsymlib > ansi_weld > simple then select "v_groove.sym" file.  Prior to placing the symbol go to "Grouping" tab and drill down into the option "Arrow_Side" until you see "Leader _Orient"  Depending on what symbol direction you placed, Left/Right, select "ALL_AROUND"

Many of the early adopter companies *Pre 1992 tend to use symbols to dictate the weld symbols.   Now that there is a lagidement weld application designers will opt for these tools instead.    The weld function can utilize a weld prep function that pushes the weld prep to the part depending upon which edge prep you choose.

I haven't used weld mode in a long while. Previously it would only handle the simplest of welds. Anything that had the list bit of complication was mostly impossible to get documented using Pro/weld. Then, once you got the welding done on the assembly, the weld symbols that transfered to the drawing were so mis-sized, you would end up having to use the manual symbols anyway.

I might be game for reviewing the welding app again, assuming it has really been improved.
