Caterpillars
You can insert representations of weld beads as end
treatments or caterpillar symbols
in drawing documents. The caterpillar symbol represents the position
and length of a weld bead on a drawing. The symbol comprises repeated
circular or linear shapes along an edge.
Adding the caterpillar symbol
does not add a weld symbol or weld bead geometry.
To insert a caterpillar symbol to the weldment:
In a drawing, click Caterpillar
 on the Annotation toolbar, or click Insert,
Annotations, Caterpillar. Set properties in the Caterpillar PropertyManager.
 You can drag the handles
of the caterpillar to change the length of the symbol.

 .
If you create intermittent
or partial caterpillar symbols, you can display and change the dimensions
of the welded and non-welded areas. If you change the dimensions, the
symbol updates. |
