Hello Forum,
Does anyone know how to change the default settings for whether or not caterpillar annotations show up in a drawing of a part that has weld beads modeled?
I'm working on a part with just a couple welds. In the part file I made weld beads, which I know are not required and I could have just created a weld symbol alone without the weld bead but I kinda like the weld beads for visual representation and want to use them. However, I don't want to show the caterpillar in my drawings. Right now the caterpillar shows up when I insert a drawing view and I have to go around and delete them manually. Is there a way to set it so the caterpillar does not show up when inserting a new drawing view?
I tried turning off Welds in Document Properties->Detailing->Display Filter, but then I lose my weld symbols and the caterpillar remains.
When I've done that in the past I'd create a configuration of the Part with the welds suppressed. Then in the Drawing I'd have a Shaded isometric view showing the welds, but the other views would be set to one of the line display options, and they'd reference the configuration with the welds suppressed.
