Use the Welding Symbol and Weld Bead styles to set the defaults for adding welding symbols, caterpillars, and end fills to a drawing. The weld styles also affect formatting for weld annotations recovered from the model.

1. Select Manage tab Styles and Standards panel Styles Editor to open the Style and Standard Editor.
2. In the style browser, click to expand the weld symbol or weld bead styles. Double-click a listed style to display it in the window.
3. In the Weld Symbol Style, set the desired options and then click Save.
4. In the Weld Bead Recovery window, set the options for caterpillars and end fills, and then click Save.
5. Click Done to close the dialog box.

Note: Changes to the style are in effect for the current document only. To make the changes available to all documents, select Manage tab Styles and Standards panel Save . The new styles replace the current style definitions. Use caution because the changes could affect other documents that use the style.
