All new weldment files are created with a template. When you start a new weldment, settings from the default weldment template are applied to the weldment. You can create your own templates, and then add them to the templates provided by Autodesk Inventor.
- Create a weldment, using an existing template.
- Set the default units of measurement.
- Set the standard to use.
- Specify the
weld bead
material type, visibility, and enabled status.
- If needed, change the sizes of the origin work planes to accommodate the average weldment size.
- Set the properties for the file.
- Save the file in the Autodesk\Inventor [version]\Templates folder or a subfolder of Templates. A weldment file automatically becomes a template when it is saved to the Templates folder.
Note: The "weldment.iam" file in the Templates folder is the default assembly template. To replace the default template, remove "weldment.iam" and replace it with a template that has the same name.
