You must be on the Fillet Weld, Groove Weld, or Butt Weld tab to perform this procedure.
1. Click
to activate intermittency functionality.
2. To set the dimensioning method, select an option:
◦ Click
to use linear pitch (distance between weld segments). In the box next to
, type a value for the intermittent weld segment length.
◦ Click
to use angular pitch (angle in degrees between weld segments). In the box next to
, type a value in degrees for the intermittent weld segment length.
3. To set how many intermittent weld segments are created, select an option:
◦ —Sets the number of weld segments to create. Type a value for the number of welds.
◦ —Sets the distance between weld segments. Type a value for pitch.
4. To set the intermittency placement scheme, select an option:
◦ Click
to start weld segments from the center of the trajectories (center to center spacing).
◦ Click
to start weld segments from the end of the trajectories (end to end spacing).
5. To create a staggered weld, click
