Weld Symbol <None>?

Colin Bluett Jun 4, 2014 10:05 AM

Modifying a coleague's weld symbol and can't seem to find the option to remove a weld symbol all together (i.e. <none>),

which in the detailed example instance would leave me with a groove and fillet below the line only.

I never found this to be an issue in 2013 & prev, now working with 2014 however and interface has changed, anyone with a

solution / guide me to where I'm missing the <none> option please, ideally I'd like not to have to replace all the welds from scratch as there are quite a few.

Thankyou in advance.

Colin, the current symbol should be highlighted in yellow background. Selecting it will clear it's highlight and remove it from the symbol. I'm curious that the highlight does not appear around the symbol in your image. Even if the symbol was from an alternative symbol category, it should show up highlighted here.

  Thankyou for your reply Matthew, the symbol doesn't seem to be highlighted in any way. I've tried selecting the same image that is shown in the hopes that it will remove it, however this doesn't work. Thinking maybe a re-install of the solidworks software may be in order, if this is how it's supposed to function and currently isn't.

    If you select a different weld symbol does it replace the one that is currently there? If it does then maybe you can do that first and then go back and deselect the new one.

      Hi Jamil, I've tried this, and although it does indeed change the symbol, selecting same said symbol again fails to de-select it. Thankyou though

Hi Colin,

My name is Salih Alani; I work with the SOLIDWORKS Product Definition Team. I’m wondering if it is okay for you to send the model and the drawing
to (enhancement@3ds.com) in order to do more investigation on the issue that you are encountering.

Please make sure to include a brief description about the issue.

Thank you very much in helping us improving our products.

I landed here with the exact same problem as the OP, and Matthew's response fixed it for me. I am on SW 2014 SP 3.0.

Clicking the weld symbol that was currently displayed made it disappear.

Thanks for the help!
