About Welding Symbols in Drawings
The standard Creo welding symbol libraries provide general ANSI and ISO welding symbols. The library symbols are the default symbols. You can easily customize and create new welding symbols to accommodate any symbol preferences.
When you place welding symbols in your drawing, only welding symbol names that are stored in the standard Creo welding symbols libraries are recognized. If you create a new welding symbol, you replace an existing symbol in the welding symbols library with the new symbol. As a general rule, it is advisable to redefine an existing weld symbol.
When you customize your welding symbol, you can do the following:
• Add as many copies of variable texts as you want.
• Change the default values of variable texts.
• Add and delete as many notes and entities as you want and place new ones in any group (or in no group at all).
• Redefine the appearance of existing notes and entities.
• Move the origin position for Left Leader and Right Leader or add other leader types.
• Add parameters to the symbol definition.
You can label your welding features with symbols that comply with either ANSI or ISO weld standards. The weld_symbol_standard configuration option in the Detail module enables you to set the symbol support for your drawings.
The following weld symbols are supported in ISO:
• Non-grooved—Fillet, plug, slot, and spot
• Grooved—Square, bevel, V, U, and J
 |
For bevel and V symbols, if root_open is more than zero, the "steep" version of the symbol is used. If prep_depth is less than material thickness, the broad version is used.
