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
