Detail Style-Descriptions - Welding Symbol tab

Setting	Description
General	Sets welding symbol placement options.
At End Plates	The welding symbols of the inserted welding joints are displayed in single parts views for base and end-plates, if the connection shape is shown, too.
At Groups	The welding symbols of the inserted welding joints are displayed in group views.
End Plate	The welding symbols of the inserted welding joints are displayed in group views for folded end plates.
Welding Symbols	Sets welding symbol template options.
Weld flag Template	Here, you select the template for automatic distribution of welding symbols. The template controls what has to be displayed in the individual welding symbols, how the flag is structured and according to which criteria the distribution in the detail or in the view is effected. You create a distribution template in the positioning command and only load it here.
Create Distribution template	Click on this button to move directly to the dialog tab for setting the distribution templates. You can modify the selected template or create new ones. Note: You have to save a modified template first before the modifications become valid.
Fraction Style	Provides settings to control the appearance of each annotation element in a 2D drawing.
Fraction Type	Sets the type of a stacked fraction. If an annotation text is related to a dimension style (e.g. hole diameter), the fraction settings are used from that style. Here you can set either horizontal, diagonal stacking or no stacking. No Stacking – used as default when an old drawing is loaded. There are no stacked fractions visible until that style will be changed (requires an element update) or some new elements will be created. Horizontal Stacking – Aligns the stacked fraction horizontal. (e.g. 0¹–₄'). Diagonal Stacking – When set, stacks the fractions diagonally. (e.g. 0¼'). Text display resulting from element property data (e.g. shape length, is shown as ‘10:6 3/8’) could be different regarding how this text have been created. If it consists of basic MicroStation text that is already part of the DGN nothing will change. However, when a text is embedded into a ProStructures element that is calculated and drawn on runtime, this text display will change to a better display style. It will happen when the element display is updated and includes fraction stacking too.
Scaling	Indicates the text size scaling of stacked fraction. The scaling values are set to 1.0 (of text size) by default.
