Are you tired of seeing that pesky weld symbol cluttering up your SolidWorks drawings? Well, you’re in luck!
In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the steps to get rid of the weld symbol and clean up your drawing. Let’s dive right in.
Step 1: Open the Drawing
The first step is to open the drawing file in SolidWorks. Once you have the drawing open, locate the area where the weld symbol is present.
Step 2: Select the Weld Symbol
To remove the weld symbol, you need to select it first. Use your mouse to click on the weld symbol to select it. Once selected, you should see handles or bounding boxes around the symbol indicating that it’s selected.
Step 3: Press Delete
Now that the weld symbol is selected, simply press the Delete key on your keyboard. Alternatively, you can right-click on the selected weld symbol and choose Delete from the context menu.
Step 4: Check for Remaining Symbols
After deleting one weld symbol, take a moment to review your drawing for any remaining symbols that need to be removed. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary until all unwanted weld symbols are eliminated.
Tips:
- If you accidentally delete a wanted element along with a weld symbol, use Edit > Undo or press Ctrl+Z on your keyboard to restore it.
- If there are multiple instances of a particular weld symbol throughout your drawing, deleting one instance will automatically remove all other instances as well.
- If there are complex or overlapping symbols in your drawing and you’re having trouble selecting the correct weld symbol, try zooming in for better precision.
Conclusion
Removing the weld symbol in SolidWorks is a simple and straightforward process. By following these steps, you can quickly clean up your drawings and present them without any unnecessary clutter.
Remember to double-check your drawing after deleting symbols to ensure everything looks as expected. Happy designing!
