Hi,
if you do not require a weld that is for example a standard size, then there is management tools default setting to set standard size, this will not show the size for the MT default.
See this forum post:

you can also turn off weld symbols via the drawing style as well:
the weld size comes from the weld symbol, this is a designated dwg template, with some attributes that link back to the system, each weld type is controlled. By layers.

Hi,
so i guess you are adding weld symbol manually in a drawing using the tool in labels and dimensions.
So this tool is linked to the weld type, so if you change the weld type it changes the symbol to what is stored in the weld symbol file ( the DWG file)
this symbol is created and added to as you create new welds, they will appear in both the model and the drawing editing/add weld symbol.
Adding a new weld
AKN below:
My suggestion is that you create a series of weld types, as you required, call them for example 'Fillet-NoSize', the symbol replicates the Fillet weld symbol, But when it comes to the Attrubuites, you delete them from the layer, each new weld symbol is created upon a layer, that how it inserts, so many different types from a single file.
when you insert the weld, change it to the for example 'Fillet NoSize' type and it should show the weld symbol, but without text attribute, it will not show the size.
i think that will work, because if you look at the dummy weld from the system, it displays like that in the drawing, just an arrow leader no text or other weld type elements.
Cheers

Hi,
if u want to delete the weld thickness you have to set the weld thickness to 1. For clarification see the picture below.

to be sure for you: YES there had to be a value in this box. Empty boxes are not possible.
But as written here: you could avoid that this value is shown in the detaildrawing by the standard weld size on drawing ( default in the management tools)
There's no other way. The question is: why do you want to have it "empty"?

Accepted solution
but this is exactly what we say. You set the default which is shown from @johnjmbennett
Default Management
Maybe you set this to "1" and then you activate the default for "create a weld symbol for standard size welding:
Then in the model itself you use this thickness and the result will be, that on the detail drawing itself, the symbol will be created, but the thickness will not be shown...only the symbol
