Adds a weld to pipe.
Access Methods
Command entry:
plantweldadd
Summary
Adds a weld to a specified location on pipe. You can also automatically add welds after setting a maximum pipe segment length.
Buttweld and Fusion Weld fastener types are supported by default. You cannot place welds onto fixed-length piping, or piping that has male and female end types (for example: Mechanical joints, Bell and Spigot).
Dynamic tracking is supported. This allows you to place the weld a precise distance from a fitting similar to plantfittingmove.
