This is still on my list, but has not made it to the top. Most of this would make a good first contribution for some one.

Hi community,

unfortunately a few weeks have passed again and nothing has happened. :roll:
For sure this is still on @wandererfan's list, but did not make it to the top because he probably has other priorities. ;)
.
So I would like to try again pushing the topic.

I have thought about a few basic ideas on how the currently existing menue basis of FC welding tool could be further expanded and improved in a useful way. :idea:
.
To this end, I have attempted to draft a functional structure to clarify where the journey might lead.
It's nothing really new, but an attempt to get some structure into the FC weld tool topic.
It would be great if someone could give some feedback on this.
Maybe a few guys would like to get together with me to push this topic forward...

@wandererfan Can you supply the ISO standard? Like the layout distances and stuff? ISO 2553:2019?

Please move this to TechDraw forum

Can't find my copies of the standards, but these links should have the highlights:

ISO

@wandererfan Hmmm, but do you know whether there are some guidelines on symbol distances or if it's usually just eyeballed?
