AutoCAD Inventor :: Edit Fillet Weld / Way To Add Welding Symbol
Jan 8, 2013
I am looking for a way to add a welding symbol to an existing fillet weld. When I am creating a fillet weld, I get a chance to create a welding symbol based on the fillet weld size.
If this is not done when the weld is created, there is no way to add this notation. I don't have the "Create Welding Symbol" checkbox when editing an existing weld. The only solution is to delete the weld and recreate it.
I am trying to link the welds in the iam with the weld notes in the idw.

I have a weldment assembly. It is a subassembly under a main assembly. In the 2D drawing of this main assembly, I tried to indicate the welding symbols for the subassembly assembly. The "Get Weld Symbol" is grey out.
How can I indicate welding symbol in the 2D drawing?

I have been asked to change some of the default weld settings within the weldment template, i.e. set groove weld to full face full face, set the fillet weld to 6x6. so that when we do a new weldment these things are already set, have hunted high and low on here, through google, autodesk knowledge base for inventor but havent found anything, not sure if havent put the right keywords in or that it just isnt possible to do.

Usually when creating a fillet weld it displays a texture of a wavy surface. I can only get a smooth surface. Is there a way to modify weld appearance to what I'm used to?

In IV9 SP1, is there a way to set what the default weld symbol is in the IDW? Every time I place a weld symbol, it randomly defaults to something different.
As the vast majority of our welds are fillet welds, I'd like that to be the default.

How can a second leader be attached to a weld symbol? I tried RMB on the symbol and choosing "Add Vertex Leader". This only put in another vertex and not a leader.

Is there anyway to create a custom weld symbol in inventor? As of right now I am using a sketched symbol from autocad, but i would very much like to get away from this.
I need a bevel weld back gouged then ground flush on the back side. Cant do that as of right now with the inventor.

When I create a weld, the browser is populated with default weld numbering. If the welds are deleted then reinserted, the numbering does not reset and can make using the "create weld symbol" option confusing.(see attached screenshot) How to reset the browser call out without manual override?

Adding the second layer of weld in the dialog box, it is impossible to specify the weld size as the text areas don't show up when the symbol is added. The bottom weld symbol works fine though.

Using Inventor Professional 2013
In the attached assembly, I would like to fill the four corners (see Figure 1) with weld to make one smooth bead around the perimeter of the end cap rather than using fillet weld to lay down four linear beads along the edges. I accomplished this with a groove weld (see Figure 2). However, problems occurred (pasted below) when I attempt to weld this piece to a surface.
Error message:
" Create Weld Feature: problems encountered while executing this command.
example.iam: Errors occurred during update
Fillet Weld 3: Could not build this Fillet Weld feature
The attempted operation had problems trimming and discarding faces. Try with different inputs."
When I had the four original fillet weld beads, I could fillet weld this part to a surface no problem (see Figure 3). When I switched it to a groove weld to get the desired corner appearance, I get errors. I tried to mess around with the tick boxes in the groove weld dialog box to try to fix the problem but nothing worked.
Ultimately, my problem can be solved if I could simply fill the corner gaps without using the groove weld command. This would eliminate the errors associated with fillet welding over groove welds.
Let me know if the attached files do not work. This is my first time uploading an assembly and its associated part files.
Figure 1: Corner with fillet welds (need to fill that gap)
Figure 2: Corner with groove weld (gap filled)
Figure 3: Fillet welded (concave) to plate. Still need those corners filled.

Is there a way to attach multiple leaders to text or weld symbols?
At the moment i am creating the "master" note, then insert "empty" texts and TRYING to get he leader to align.(the other problem is if i want to reposition)

I know you can change the leader style and the text style in a weld symbol...I can't seem to find a style for the parts?
Specifically I'm trying to change the color, I'd like the enirety of my weld callout to be a different color...just for visually tracking and locating on the drawings.
So if I change it to orange...right now the leader and text are orange but the weld symbol itself and the tail are still black.

What I would like to do is create a custom dialogue for each of 3 or 4 standard sketch symbols we use on a regular basis. I'd like to load 'suggsted' values out of an excel spreadsheet and allow the user to pick from them or enter in a custom text string if required. The values would then become part of the sketch symbol.
I've spent some time looking into iLogic rules and I think I've determined that they're not flexible enough to do what I want.
If I'm correct, it is possible (or a good idea) to do this using a VBA macro? I'm a little hesitant to go down the full blown add-in route. While I'm pretty confident I could work it out.

Is there a way to edit the text in a symbol instance without breaking the link to the symbol?
a really simplen example would be several instances of the same button graphic but with different labels.
I know these things are possible in Fireworks, but couldn't find a way to make it happen in Illustrator.

I have been toying with the welding aspect today and cannot figure our how to glue two parts together the way I want.
What I have is two pcs of 1.5" SQ tube (from content center) one with the face butted up against the side of the other. The weld will show on the top and bottom (straight sections) but will not fill the edges where the radius's from the tubing is (are?).

I have a simple welding assembly: a plate and a cylinder (boss).The boss has a through-hole of 0.3125.The plate has a hole of 0.332.The boss is welded to the plate with the holes being concentric.
I tried to perform a machining operation by creating a sketch, projecting the geometry of the holes, and creating a threaded hole at the centerpoint projected.
The thread size I had selected was 3/8-16, and this is where I run into the issue. When modeled, a tapped 3/8-16 hole measured 0.307 (which I assume is the threads minor diameter). Obviously, 0.307 is smaller than the two concentric holes and Inventor is unable to create the tapped hole.
According to the tapped drill size chart found in any machinist reference, 0.312 is the required drilled hole diameter to tap a 3/8-16 hole. Am I missing something as how to create this tapped hole after welding in Inventor?
I know I could make the holes smaller on the Plate ans Boss, but then they would not accurately depict what is being made in our shop.

I just tried the weldment in 2014 and welding bead looks plain, like a simple chamfer. Is there any way to make it looks more realistic like 2012?

Just about to take the first plunge in the pool of IV10 welding environment.
My question is: How do you make drawings for your different welding stages? When making my acquaintace with welding environment, I have encountered following scenarios:
I would like to make a drawing of an individual part from assembly, with preparations visible. This can be done by choosing preparations-state of a weldment assembly, followed by choosing a part from a pull down-menu. However, parts list still refers to whole assembly whereas I need only that one part. No worries, I’ll just hide those I don’t need.
Machining-stage produces a drawing where all previous weldment stages are visible as well, including preparations and weldings. Drawing used for machining the welded structure shows a lot of things that doesn’t need to be there, such as grooves. Empty grooves even, if I didn’t bother to define the actual weld beads there. I suppose this is as designed, but looking the assembly with the machinist’s eyes who would only see filled grooves, I would like the ability to choose if I want those stages to show or not. Again, parts list shows every part of an assembly. Guy who does the machining requires only the assembly level information.
I imagine that deriving the welded assembly would solve some of the issues.

it's possible to export informations stated in "tailing note box" from all welding symbols? The reason why I'd like to do it...it's because each weld in the drawing has his own number and I'd like to be able to work with these weld numbers in MS excel. It means I'd like to be able to export all the weld numbers and also to change these weld numbers in the drawing via MS excel.

The attached picture is me trying to balloon a part. I would like to just add some notes to the balloon so that I can update them manually but all I can find is to have a symbol. So I created a symbol, the insertion point for the symbol is shown. For some reason I get an extra number and the symbol offcenter. Why is this happening? What I'm really looking for is a balloon that is fully customizable so that I can just add text to the top and bottom and fill out the details.

In my iAssembly, I have placed a weld. In one of the members, I am suppressing the weld. When I change to that member, I get an error "Weld No Spine: could not compute Weld: Possible intersection failure". Inventor complains a little, but it does not show that Red Cross after the member is selected.
Why do I see that even though the weld is suppressed for that member?

I tried to get the XML-Information of a weld. But the string that should contain this information is empty. Did I make a mistake?, or is this feature not supported by Inventor 2014 anymore. Even the helping page "More XML Weld Info..." doesn't exist anymore and leads to an error.
This is my VBA-Code to show the XML-Info string for each weld within the assembly in a message box:
Sub WeldInfo()
'is the active document an assembly?
If ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then
Return
End If

I am creating a weldment that is controlled using parameters that are linked to an Excel spreadsheet (using Inventor 2012). One of my parameters is the size of the weld bead. I am able to add the parameter to change the visible size of th fillet and groove welds but am unable to have the weld symbols update to show the parameter value. How to add the parameter to the weld symbols? Or is this not possible?

I am dabbling with the new appearance settings in Inventor and for some reason or other; I can’t seem to align the weld bump map to what I would like. I want to shift the position of the map so it shows a full weld bead, not two halves as shown.
I have shifted the offset from 0 cm to see if it moves the position, but all I seem to be able to change is the scale of the bead.

I am currently having trouble viewing welds on drawing views. The outer line of the weld is visible but there is no fill or hatching. I have tried to edit visibility settings, etc and nothing works. Also note that other welds show up and that all the physical welds do show up on the assembly models.
