Weldments - Default Configurations
When a weldment feature is added to a part, the software creates two
default configurations: a parent configuration, Default<As
Machined>, and a derived configuration, Default<As
Welded>. You create the model in the <As
Machined> configuration, and include all machined features.
Then, if you want to show the part as it appears before the machining
operations are performed, you use the <As
Welded> configuration and suppress the machined features.
For example, for the following part:
In the <As
Machined> configuration, you create the structural members,
extrude the plate, add fillet welds, and add the holes in the plate and
structural members.
Then, in the <As
Welded> configuration, you suppress the hole features.
