TD - representation of butt and fillet weld seams
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2023 9:06 pm
Hi all,
when trying to draw welds, I found that drawing welds does not work as easily as it could go.
In welding technology, a general distinction is made between butt welds and fillet welds. Welds can of course be modeled in 3D in a very complex way. I have the idea, that it would be just as purposeful, if weld seams could be represented simply in TechDraw.
I have tried to clarify the question with a simple example.
In the case of the butt weld, it was possible to create a surface that could be hatched with a solid by inserting a cosmetic line.
Unfortunately, this is apparently not possible with a fillet weld, even if two cosmetic points and two cosmetic lines are drawn, no closed area is created that can be hatched.
Would it be possible to implement such a simple function ?
I could not find an automatic function for this in FC either.
