Weld symbol tip

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Wayne Tiffany, Jun 13, 2008.

  1. I recently figured out that if I click on a weld symbol with the intent to
    copy and paste it, it matters where on it I click. If I click on the body
    of the symbol, then when I paste it, the new symbol is placed with the end
    of the body line at the click point. If I click on the symbol somewhere on
    the leader, then the new one is placed with the end of the arrow at the
    click point. This is a good difference to know, and I thought maybe I
    wasn't the only one that hadn't figured it out.

    Thanks Wayne. I never realized that. This kind of thing pops up from
    time to time in a lot of things. The big question is whether it is
    intended functionality or not.

  3. Don't know. I have since figured out that this really applies only if the
    annotation has or at some time has had a jogged leader. If it never has,
    then it doesn't matter where you pick it up - it pastes back with the arrow
    head at the click point. If it has or had a jogged leader, then it acts
    like I described.
