weldment.iam - I need a clue please.

[Anonymous]

I've converted my fixture assembly to a weldment. (5 sided box with a couple
mounting blocks inside)
When I try a weld, the cosmetic weld is intuitive enough, but the fillet
weld doesn't select in the same way. As usual, I'm missing something. 😕

Shouldn't I be able to pick two plate surfaces that are perpendicular and
the fillet weld would fill between them? It only allows me to select
surfaces on one component)
Or, pick the inside edge (like cosmetic allows me to) and the weld appears ?

Thanks for the help

Pick one surface, right click, select continue and then the second.

First you select one surface, then you have to go back to the dialog and
tell the program you are ready to select the second surface. (doh!)

It would be nice if you didn't have to do this.....

Note you can select many surfaces during both parts of the process.
