Insert Weld Symbol Example (VB.NET)
This example shows how to insert a weld symbol into a model.
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\api\weldment_box3.sldprt.
' 2. Select a face, edge, or sketch segment for Weld Symbol insertion.
' 3. Open an Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Inserts the specified ISO Weld Symbol.
' 2. Inspect the Immediate window.
'
' NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
