Custom weld symbols

Hi

 

Is it possible to create a new custom weld symbol?

We are more and more using TOX-clinching(aka riveting without rivets) and would like to indicate this operation by using weld symboles, thinking it's a bit like spotwelding and we have parameters just like it: size, number of entities and distance. But we have a symbol that we'd like to use instead of those available.

So is it possible to do this in Inventor?

 

We are running Inventor 2010 64bit on Windows 7

 

If you dont know what TOX is, check out this link.

Hi Dennis  - fast response as always

 

No, I have not tried that, since I'm not sure I know what you're talking aboutSmiley Sad

But if you could tell me a little more about it or where i can find additional info it would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you
