welding prep: v-groove or j-groove prep

How does it work in Solidworks?  If I  apply a weld with a v or j groove into a weldment, where does the cut/prep exist in the part or as an assembly cut or can I choose?    I want to use a rectangle tubing but want that prep to exist in the assembly and not effect the part so I can use that same steel tube elsewhere as it may get a different prep.
