weldsymbol2
what is the best way to deal with automatically drawing weld symbols?
can you explain a little more as to what you mean by automatically drawing weld symbols? automatically drawing them in what way, or what purpose, etc..?
specifically: how do you specify which symbol to use in the weld symbol. i need to specify fillet and bevel shapes.
the following does not work for me:
ret = weldsymbol_d.settext(false, "1/4", "fillet", "", "", 0)
i have had the same problem with sw2006. i can get the code to draw the leader, place the dimension but not draw the fillet symbol or any of other symbols.
has anyone got this to work???
thanks
you just need to use the special names.
ret = weldsymbol_e.settext(false, wthk, awld-gbvl, "", "", 0)
this is an example of what works for the ansi bevel weld.
i can't show it here. but you need to quote the weld symbol
after you add the greaterthan sign in front and the lessthan sign in back
thanks for everyone's help.
