    Hi all,

    I am modeling a part that is formed out of a single piece of sheet
    metal. I would like to have the corners fully welded after the bend
    operations for rigidity purposes. Is there any way to add fillet welds
    to sheet metal parts a-la the same ability in weldments? Also keeping
    in mind there is a small gap in the corner where the bends don't really
    touch.

    Thanks!
    Dave

  2. I never show the weld unless absolutely necessary for some unknown reason.
    The weld will be called out on the drawing.

    Thanks Wayne,

    This is exactly how I ended up doing it. I added an End Treatment
    annotation and a weld symbol callout.
