Controls the types of welds that are plotted on the isometric drawing. The various switch settings permit different types of welds to be plotted, or not, to suit the particular type of isometric drawing being generated. A further specialized option causes all program-generated site welds to be changed into fabrication welds.
Switch Settings
The following settings are available for Option Switch 54:
SWITCH POSITION 1 - Weld Types and Plotting Options
|
0 |
Plot all types of welds. This is the default. |
|
1 |
Suppress plotting of all welds. |
|
2 |
Plot only site welds. |
|
3 |
Plot only fabrication welds. |
|
4 |
Change site welds generated by the program into fabrication welds. This action does not change user-inserted site welds. |
-
Whenever Option Switch 54, Position 1 is set to 1, 2 or 3, Option Switch 53, which controls weld numbering, should be set to the same value.
-
Whenever Option Switch 54, Position 1 is set to 4, to change site welds into fabrication welds, the software also changes the type of weld numbers generated.
