The welding symbol now supports the latest ISO (ISO 2553:2019) and JIS (JIS Z 3021:2016) standards revision.
With the added support to the new ISO 2553:2019, ISO 4063:2009 and JIS Z 3021:2016 standards revision, you can annotate documents created in AutoCAD Mechanical using the latest revisions of the welding symbols.
Note: AutoCAD Mechanical toolset continues to support all legacy revisions and allows documents created in previous releases to be opened, edited, and saved without updating the welding standard. Saving the new revision of the weld symbols to an older file format converts the weld symbol to a block.
