Hello,

I have a request from a customer to show weld length in some part drawings.  I normally don't place welds in my part models; instead I just insert the weld symbol in the drawing.  Anyway, I inserted the weld bead in the part using the "Weld Bead" function on the Weldments toolbar.  It created a Weld Folder in the tree, above "Cut list".  I expand this folder, click Properties, and it shows the weld length.  Great.  Now how in the world do I show this in my drawing?  I've tried every way that I can think of to link to it in a note or custom property but I haven't had any luck.  It's probably one of those things that's really simple and will make me feel stupid, but I'm used to that.  Can anyone help?
