Weld symbol enhancements in ST5 are available in the options dialog box for fillet welds, groove welds, and label welds in the Assembly environment, and in the properties dialog box for weld symbol annotations in the Draft environment, in sketches, and in PMI. The changes include the following:
An improved user interface for defining weld symbol content for ANSI/ISO/DIN weld symbols.
An improved user interface for defining weld symbol content for GOST weld symbols.
A new option on the Text and Leader tab in the Weld Symbol Properties dialog box—Symbol line width—specifies a different line width for the weld symbol than for the reference line. This option is available for weld symbols that conform to the GB standard.
A new option on the Spacing tab in the Dimension Style dialog box—Three-sided weld symbol offset gap—adjusts the offset between the base of the symbol and the reference line. This option is available for weld symbols that conform to the GB standard.
