About Spot Welds
Spot welding joins two or more overlapping pieces of metal, typically sheet metal. To create spot welds in Creo Parametric, you use datum points as placement references. You can select existing datum points, or create datum points during weld creation.
To create multiple spot welds, there are two methods:
• Multi Point—Select datum points, and features and sketches that contain datum points, as placement references, and create one spot weld feature that contains spot weld instances in multiple locations.
• Pitch Welding—Select one datum point as the reference for the spot weld feature leader, and use pitch to automatically create a straight row of additional weld instances based on the spot weld feature leader.
