Additional information
(Peripheral or field weld)

side
weld_side

Location of the welded side
It is identified by a dashed line.

refpoint
star

List of reference points (P1 ... Pn)

p
point

Reference Point
An arrow line is drawn to each point.

   
pt_on_line
wcoord

Location of the reference line relative to the first reference point.
If it is left of the first reference point, the weld symbol is displayed on the left.

angle_refline
angle

Angle of the reference line to the x axis

List of weld informations

location
weld_line

Location of the line

pre_symbol
string

Text before the symbol,
e.g. Weld thickness a in [mm].

symbol
string

Weld symbol

post_symbol
string

Text after the symbol,
e.g. number of weld lengths x weld length.

add_symbol
string

Additional symbol, offset symbol

post_add
string

Text after the additional symbol,
e.g. weld spacing in [mm].

   
fork
weldfork

Fork with additonal text:

  • No fork
  • Closed fork with one line
  • fork with n lines.
    Each text entry corresponds to one line.

With this action you can create a welding symbol according to DIN 1912. They are kept as general as possible in order to permit any desired combination of graphic symbols and texts.

Welding is often performed in several layers so that the graphic symbols have to be ordered one above the other in drawings. For this reason, you may define multiple lines and freely select the position of symbols relative to the reference line (parameter location). So you can combine all graphical symbols.

The graphical symbols are aligned one above the other depending on the longest previous text.
