Great information

[@Mr.MingJin]

Can i show the welding geometry on a view or section?

[@amirsaberi1336]

thanks

Thank yaa

Weld size is supposed to be behind the fillet weld symbol, that location is for length of weld and its center to center spacing for stitch welds

[@epicenter16]

Does it not differ per norm?

[@jimbrownlee2229]

How do you make a weld table with weld numbers corresponding to numbers in the tail of the weld symbol? I know it can be done manually, but solid works has to be able to generate that numbering scheme automatically, right?

[@DjCuddlebear]

i am wondering the exact same thing. did you find a solution?

[@epicenter16]

Is it possible to add geometry data of the weld to the 3D-part as a STEP/IGNES/STL?

[@hawkridgesystems]

If you need the weld as a solid model geometry, you can use the "Fillet Bead" option. It has similar options to the "Weld Bead" shown in this video for weld callout, except produces actual solid body geometry.

If the solid geometry isn't needed, then we definitely recommend the "Weld Bead" shown in this video as that represents the weld only graphically (for better performance)
Here is a blog that helps explain the differences: hawkridgesys.com/blog/choosing-between-weld-bead-weld-fillet-solidworks

How do I get started in doing these application projects?

[@escilazz9142]

In my SW there is not a "finishing method" option, there's just a "contour" both above and below.

[@darbodrake89]

Same

[@subramanianas2050]

Yes For me too!

[@TheCaslo]

@@subramanianas2050 how can I added this option there?

CHANGE THE DOCUMENT PROPERTIES TO ANSI FROM ISO

can I hide the weld symbol in the model?

@@beoptimistic5853 Why are you doing like this?

[@Ahelot]

my baseline or reference line is too long, how can adjust that ?

Thanks. By the way, it’s not common to attach weld symbol to the isometric view.
