- [Instructor] Similar to the surface finish call-out
inside of Solid Works.
The weld symbol call-outs
are pretty easy to use
and we have some added functionality
if you actually add a weld bead
inside of your part.
So, first thing let's look at
this automatic weld note
that I generated over here.
I'm going to open up
this part really quick
and you can see that I've created
a weld bead on this part.
I'm going to go up here
to the weld folder
and actually delete this bead
and show you how I did it.
If I go to insert weldment, weld bead,
I can select this edge
and then this surface,
I have a value down here
for the weld radius
and then you can also create
more definition by adding in
any more information
related to the weld symbol.
If you want peripheral
any information about the field site,
whatever you need
to dictate that weld.
Click okay.
Click okay again
and I've now created a weld bead
on this part with a call-out.
If I save this
and go over to my sheet,
if I delete this over here
and go to model items,
select this view
and go down to weld symbols
and click Okay.
I'm going to click yes
for entire model
and now I've got my weld symbol.
You can also zoom in down here
and see the weld bead as well.
If you want to add it manually
because you're not
using the welds feature,
you can simply click
on the weld symbol.
It'll pop up like this.
You can fill in any information
you might want to have inside of there.
Maybe you want to do
an all around fill it weld.
Click okay
and what you have to be careful of
is it's going to drop it
wherever your cursor was.
So if I had selected
a point inside of here
I would have dropped it there
but instead I dropped it down here
at the origin.
So I've just got to drag it up
and reposition it
like I would a normal annotation.
Put it down at the corner right here
and there you go.
I've placed my weld call-out.
Now you'll have to, again
like so many call-outs
that you put on drawings
consult with the manufacturers
and the vendors we're actually
going to be creating your parts
and figure out what can they do.
What's possible with their equipment
and how they would prefer
to call it out
and if you are following antsy
or ISO standards
there is going to be
a specific procedure for that
but if you're working with a shop
that does things differently
you may want to consult with them first.
If you ever have
to edit your world symbol
simply double click on it
and you'll open up
the properties dialog box again
and you can change,
all of the various options
to give you the weld symbol
that you want.
When you're done click okay
and as always
click save to save your drawing.
