Hi all,

Is there any way I can shorten the length of the elbow in my fillet weld symbol?

See attached image.

Thanks

Changing the length would require modifying the symbol file or creating a new symbol file.  Both of which are usually not an option to maintain a company's drafting standards.

Hi,

probably the elbow lenght is fixed. Check symbol definition.

Hi Martin, yes it looks fixed.

There is no option (that I can see) to change the length

There is always more to learn.
