Drawings of weldments support:

  • Views of entire weldment parts

  • Weldment cut lists
  • Balloons
  • AutoBalloons
  • Alternating crosshatch for section views

Balloons in Weldment Drawings

All configurations reference the same cut list for creating balloons. Balloon numbers remain associative to the cut list, even if they are created in another view.

A balloon attached to a body in a drawing view of the entire weldment and a balloon attached to the same body in a drawing view showing only the body have the same item number.

If you insert AutoBalloons into a drawing view of a weldment and the drawing does not contain a cut list, you are prompted whether you want to create a cut list.

If you delete a cut list, all balloons related to the cut list change their Item Number to 1.
