I've checked all of those threads, none of the "solutions" are any good. You can not change visibility of individual welds for design view modifications, and the supression hides them in all levels of detail. So its either supress them entirely or hide ALL of them from view, no control over individual welds...
Already 2 years further and still no response on this one.
We are currently working a lot with the welding tool within Inventor 2015 and suppressing weld beads on LOD level will help us a lot with the workability of the models. The model gets very slow when using many welds (700 welds is not an exception).
Also creating weld bead reports when using this amount of welds is really a problem because this takes hours and consumes a lot of internal memory.
So Please Autodesk an decent reply is very welcome.
I think that we all could do with this sorting to allow us to model the way we should be able to. If this will NEVER be resolved because it is not possible then someone from Autodesk should reply and tell us this then we will all know that it will NEVER happen and we will just have to accept it.
Communication with your customers (good or bad news) is very important...
I have just looked again on the forum and found that an Autodesk employee has stated that you cannot do what we all want to do because the welds are a feature.
Is there anyway that Autodesk could investigate making the weld feature NOT a feature then? Could you make it so that it becomes a part instead? This probably does sound crazy but wouldn't it then enable the LOD function to work as we all want it to (parts can be controlled by LOD)?
Anyway something for you Autodesk to think about...
This is a basic functionality that clearly needs to be addressed. Autodesk seems to be happily ignoring the years of requests. Level of Detail is used for different configurations of a model assembly. Clearly in different assembly configurations you will have different weld configurations!

Autodesk doesn't consider LoD as a configurator for assemblies, although it would be much simpler if they did so.
Instead of LoD, you should use the iAssembly feature on the "Manage" tab. This will create a table where the rows are different configurations and the columns are features or dimensions you want to be different from configuration to configuration. The welds can be hidden by zeroing out the weld dimensions found under the "Parameters" tab of the iAssembly Author table editor in the "Assembly Features" folder.
