Weld Note

[Dale_Rosema]

Is there a way to force a carriage return in a weld note reference? Right now I just have a second note near the weld note. If not, is there a way to relate this annotation to the weldnote instead of to the view?

Yes, but is this particular one created the same as it is displayed? The few I've looked at have the weld type directly in the middle, not offset like your's is.

Never mind. I see that this particular symbol is offset. If this is really waht you need fixed, I can only recommend modifying the symbol. Not a great prospect.

I just modified this symbol. I went into Edit and transformed all the features in and across a selection window from one end of the triangle to the other. This moved it far enough to correct the offset.

Alternatively, you could explode the symbol to the drawing but then you loose the leader... and there is no undo!

Thanks Antonious. I was hoping that is would be a simple config.pro that would allow so much space around the text that is written for either size or length. Not that simple.

You just found a very poorly created symbol. It is probably as old as the hills.

I suspect it would be worth fixing this one and keeping it in a custom library so it doesn't get lost for future reference.
