JIS Weld Symbol Properties

You can create JIS weld symbols in part, assembly, and drawing documents.

To open this dialog box, do one of the following:

  • Click Weld Symbol Tool_Weld_Symbol_Annotation.gif (Annotation toolbar) or Insert > Annotations > Weld Symbol.
  • Double-click an existing weld symbol, or right-click the symbol and select Properties.
Many of the properties are available both above and below the weld symbol line and are described in order from the line. A preview of the symbol is displayed in the graphics area.
