how to create rectangular pattern of welds

[je10020]

Hi, I'd like to make a rectangluar pattern of a part that is groove welded into a plate.  Inside the pattern command I can select the part but not the weld.  An ideas to avoid having to do each weld individually?

No way that I know you can pattern the welds.  When in the weld command, can you pick the other plates as the second face?

Can you show us a pic of the weldment and what you are trying to do?

Thanks for the response.  After you suggested picking multiple faces, I tried doing that (again) and once I selected the second face twice it worked. Patterning would be a nicer, since there are a lot of faces to pick,  but picking a lot of faces is better than doing each weld individually, or in pairs.

The weld was formed by selecting groove weld, selecting the top and chamfer of the inserted pins as face 1, the inside faces of the holes as face 2, and radial fill.  After radial fill was selected, only the last hole picked had a weld fill in; after I reselected face 2 on the second to last hole, the rest of the welds were completed.  Seems like wierd behavior, but it worked.
