I'm wondering how many people actually use the fillet bead command and actually configure those features so that the "As Machined" and "As Welded" configurations relate to the real world.
I find the fillet bead command extremely limited - it can only be applied to between two faces that are at right angles. What if I wanted to display a weld bead in my drawing that is between two surfaces that are tangent (see pic for example)? During previous projects I have not used this command and I insert an annotation instead. Now I have some extra time for this project so I thought I would actually use the "As Welded" and "As Machined" configurations to my advantage and show some weld beads, but I am not seeing how this is possible.
