Finishing Method

  • None
  • C - Chipping
  • G - Grinding
  • M - Machining
  • F - Unspecified

Other JIS Weld Symbol Improvements

Size of Symbol Text

  • Weld symbols are appropriately sized for the 13-point font.
  • On the JIS Weld Symbol tab of the Properties dialog box, if you select Inside, Root Opening now appears within the weld symbol at a more appropriate size.
  • All other text displays at locations and sizes that are appropriate for the weld symbol size and JIS standards.

Groove Angle Position

Groove Angle position is now displayed just outside the weld symbol when Inside is selected or Root Opening is not specified.

JIS Weld Symbol Library

The JIS Weld Symbol library is now the default when you create new weld symbols.

JIS and ANSI Symbols

Contour and Finishing method symbol elements that are the same in ANSI and JIS now map appropriately when you switch the drawing standard between ANSI and JIS.
