Can I customise Drawing Styles so that weld symbols will not be generated automatically throughout my drawings?

Hi, can anybody tell me how I can prevent the weld symbols being automatically generated on my drawings. For the work I will be doing they are unnecessary and just clutter the drawings, looking for an easier way than to have to select and delete them off every drawing sheet. Thanks in advance!

In "Drawing Styles" change the object presentation for "Weld Line" like in the screenshot below

Hi,

 

Editing the drawing style is a bit extreme. Plus there are many styles for different objects. The system has a facility to not show weld symbols for "standard size" welds". When you place a weld in the model make sure you select whatever your "standard weld" is. In the UK build it is 6mm fillet both sides. These welds do not get called up in the drawings and are just covered by a note. Other weld types or sizes still get called up so you have the best of both worlds.

 

Check under Management Tools > Defaults.

then make sure this is not ticked.
