To Set Intermittency Options
You must be on the Fillet Weld, Groove Weld, or Butt Weld tab to perform this procedure.
1. Click
![](../welding/images/weld_intermittent.png)
to activate intermittency functionality.
2. To set the dimensioning method, select an option:
◦ Click
![](../welding/images/weld_distance.png)
to use linear pitch (distance between weld segments). In the box next to
![](../welding/images/weld_inter_length.png)
, type a value for the intermittent weld segment length.
◦ Click
![](../welding/images/weld_angle.png)
to use angular pitch (angle in degrees between weld segments). In the box next to
![](../welding/images/weld_inter_length.png)
, type a value in degrees for the intermittent weld segment length.
3. To set how many intermittent weld segments are created, select an option:
◦ ![](../welding/images/weld_value.png)
—Sets the number of weld segments to create. Type a value for the number of welds.
◦ ![](../welding/images/weld_inter_from_end.png)
—Sets the distance between weld segments. Type a value for pitch.
4. To set the intermittency placement scheme, select an option:
◦ Click
![](../welding/images/weld_inter_center.png)
to start weld segments from the center of the trajectories (center to center spacing).
◦ Click
![](../welding/images/weld_inter_from_end.png)
to start weld segments from the end of the trajectories (end to end spacing).
5. To create a staggered weld, click
![](../welding/images/weld_inter_staggered.png)
(both-sided welds only).
