Can you people unify fillet bead and weld beads and make them applicable in assemblies too?
What I was thinking about is the weld should:
- automatically chamfer corners in parts if added in part or assembly (for Y, V and similar welds) (optionally)
- make visual presentation of a real weld (same as current fillet bead in part) (optionally)
- be a virtual entity (not a feature)
- show in drawings as welds (either Y, V or fillet triangles should be visible - optionally)
- automatically marked in drawing or dimensioned (both optionally)
- when exporting to step optionally save welds as bodies or when importing to visualize (maybe each weld should have export property to define this)
- proper visual representation of contour at the top of the weld
- putting weld in already created grooves by selecting 2 chamfered corners
