Transcript
00:03
In the Drawing workspace in Fusion, you can add weld symbols to your drawings.
00:10
The options available in the Welding dialog depend on the drafting standard (ASME or ISO) and the selected Weld type.
00:19
Start with a Fusion drawing open, such as this weldment assembly drawing.
00:25
To add a weld symbol, from the toolbar, Symbols group, select Welding.
00:33
Zoom into the appropriate view, and then select the object to attach.
00:39
In this case, select the vertical segment, and then the horizontal segment, to attach them using a fillet weld.
00:47
Move your pointer to the desired location.
00:51
Then, to place the weld symbol, press Enter, or right-click and select Continue.
00:59
Or, you can simply click to continue creating a leader in a specific direction, and then place the symbol.
01:06
The Welding dialog opens and shows the standard that you are currently using.
01:11
In this case, leave the Weld type set to Fillet, but you can also select from a long list of symbol types.
01:19
There are options to set the Fillet Size, Distance, and Contour type,
01:23
and to select whether the weld is All around, a Field weld, or a Spacer.
01:29
You can also Stagger and Flip the weld, or Reset all parameters.
01:35
Click the Other Side tab for additional options.
01:40
For example, to add a Fillet weld to the other side, set the Weld type to Fillet, and then adjust the other parameters as needed.
01:48
If you need to add more information, such as process notes, click the Tail tab to enable this feature.
01:55
In this case, notes are unnecessary, so the tail remains hidden.
02:00
When you are finished, click OK.
02:03
From here, you can continue adding weld symbols as needed.
