Weld logic is used to control welds. The Show Welds, Show Weld Numbers, Weld Types, and Weld Number Size properties control Isogen behavior regarding welds and weld numbers.
In the example below, FALSE indicates that the check box is not selected, whereas TRUE indicates that the check box is selected.
If Show Welds is FALSE, all weld numbering options are suppressed. That is, Show Weld Numbers, Weld Types and Weld Number Size are ignored.
-
OS 53.1 = 0 (all weld numbers are suppressed)
-
OS 54 = 1 (all welds are suppressed)
else (Show Welds is TRUE)
If Show Weld Numbers is TRUE, Weld Types and Weld Number Size are used to control setting of Option Switch 53 Position 1, Option Switch 53 Position 4, and Option Switch 54, as shown in the table below
