Seam weld visualization

Direction display

The display of seam welds includes arrows representing the weld position. A weld defined using a vector is represented with a single arrow, positioned with respect to u. A weld defined flange-side position is represented with multiple arrows.

Note:

When you select Other as the seam weld type, the Weld Properties tab does not include the Location option and arrows will not be displayed.
