hello,
my question;
i just wonder how to control the welding symbol as well as its annotation in 2D....the length of the welding annotation seems to be to long and it would use more space in drafting...can we control the decimal places of welding annotation in 2D (lets say i jut want the fillet welding dimension to '6' instead of '6.00' and the pitch value '100-250' instead of '100.00-250.00')...second thing is,normally i only will show the welded area on the sectioned view. In Creo i cannot do that because it will show the whole welded area in the view (sectioned and non-sectioned view)...if i turn off the quilt visibilty in that view all of the welding symbol will not be visible anymore which is not what i desire...
my opinion about CREO;
i find it so hard to define welding since it has to be define in 3D first. if u compare to CATIA it is a lot easier because we can define it in 2D which is more friendly to me. in Creo we have to define the weld prep (if we have to define one) and in CATIA we only need to the symbol itself in 2D and it would be a problem in Creo if you want to delete the defined welded part since it will only delete the welding symbol but not the weld prep as well. i have to re-edit the part.
Fpr me, it would be alot easier to define the welding in 2D since it saves me a lot of time...seriously
Hello, you can insert the weld symbols just like inserting a custom symbol. You just have to browser where the Creo symbols are located. I did a search *.sym of the PTC folder in program files and found where the files where and copied them to an easier to find location.
