The Weld2K Add Leader Toggle Function in SoftDraft’s Weld2K module is designed to give users control over whether a leader line is attached to a welding symbol when inserted into a CAD drawing. Here’s how the “Add Leader” toggle works:
- Enabling the Toggle: When inserting a welding symbol using Weld2K, users can enable or disable the “Add Leader” toggle. This toggle is typically accessible through the Weld2K interface or dialog box, where users specify the properties of the welding symbol they are about to insert.
2. With Leader Enabled: If the Weld2k Add Leader toggle is enabled, a leader line will automatically attach to the welding symbol when inserted into the CAD drawing. The leader line extends from the welding symbol to a point on the drawing, typically indicating the location of the weld joint or seam.
3. Without Leader Enabled: Conversely, if the “Add Leader” toggle is disabled, no leader line will be attached to the welding symbol upon insertion. In this case, the welding symbol will appear on the drawing without additional lines extending.
4. Use Cases: The Weld2K Add Leader toggle allows CAD drafters to customize symbols based on drawing requirements. A leader line can improve clarity by indicating the exact weld location. However, a leader line might sometimes be unnecessary or clutter the drawing. Disabling the toggle lets users insert the welding symbol without a leader for a cleaner look.
5. Post-Insertion Editing: After inserting a welding symbol with or without a leader line. Users can further edit the symbol’s properties by adding or removing leader lines. This allows for fine-tuning the appearance of welding symbols to best suit the requirements of the CAD drawing.
Overall, the “Add Leader” toggle in Weld2K gives users control and flexibility in the appearance of welding symbols within CAD drawings. This allows them to customize the presentation of welding information according to project specifications and preferences. Weld2K is also available on the AutoCAD App Store.
