[Inv2012]Adding a custom welding assembly material

[ThisOneSEGuy]

Hi,

 I'm preparing an assembly consisting of welded parts (DC01 sheetmetal + S235JR elements). While I was able to add (Styles editor) a custom material to the sheetmetal (DC01) part and the element (S235JR), I'm not able to add a custom material to the welded assembly. This is a big problem for me, because I'm preparing a parametric drawings set, which reads parts material and a non-precise material like "Welded alluminium" won't do. I need to be able to change that to S235JR. How do I do that proper?

 I don't want to just remove the <MATERIAL> info from the drawing table and replace it with a text field, because it's doubling the procedure (Part -> Select material + Drawing -> Type material text field instead of only Part -> Select material)

Best regards,

Peter

Hello,

We missed 2012 out but in 2011 you have to check the box Use as Weldment in the styles editor.

This should then show up when you convert to weldment.
