Weld symbols in Fusion 360 drawings

Weld symbols in Fusion 360 drawings

I need to use weld symbols in my drawings. We can't. use Fusion 360 for drawings without this feature. 

The ability to draw custom blocks or cells would also work as a fix.

Hi dchase,

 

Thanks for taking a look at Fusion 360 Drawings and let us know what you need. At this stage, welding symbols are not supported nor are custom blocks, but we have started work on a welding symbol tool. Its still early days, so can I ask, what drafting standard do you use; ISO 2553, ANSI/AWS A2.4 or something else?

 

Thanks,

Andrew

ANSI/AWS A2 would be fine.

Great, thanks Dan. ANSI/AWS A2 is already on the list.

 

Thanks,

This is a must! Machining symbols are in now the need to weldments is high.

Drawings in general need quite a bit of work but weld symbols are definitely an absolute must for this program to be ready for prime time.

I'm glad this popped up, I was about to enter the exact same request. I'm increasingly using and recommending Fusion 360 to fabrication shops that use plasma, laser, waterjet, etc... to cut parts. The drawings are great for showing assembly and BOM info but as of right now we have to add a note with the welding information. It would be great to have standard weld symbols included in the callouts.

 

Thanks,

Do you have any estimate when is this upgrade going to be ready?

Weldments would be great however the ability to add just symbols in drawing layouts would be so so good. Please.

 

thanks,

I agree with dlslade. 

 

Please just add at least the weld symbols like you did with GD&T. I don't need to model the welds. I just need the symbols.

Autodesk, any update on this feature request?  This would be a great feature to add.  Many designers need it.  In another Idea post you estimated this would be ready by early 2016?  Thanks!

This has probably already been requested - if so, vote for it because it is essential!

A lot of my machine designs require welded joints. I can work around the model side of things without structural members just fine... but the wheels fall off when I try to put it to paper!

I don't have the capacity to fabricate larger structures, so I need to send them out externally. But it isn't very professional to just put in a text box saying "weld all joints 6mm fillet blah blah".

 

Please add weld symbol leaders.

Ummm, when can we exect weld symbols? This is UBER important Fusion team... Can't describe a weldment without it - unless I text in all the weld data which has the same effect as looks like a child drawing with a crayon to make shop drawings. Not very pro.

I have found a way to fake welds in Fusion drawings. 

1. Download the Weld Symbols Font from Micronus. 

2. use empty text arrow symbols to locate the weld position

3. arrange the symbols using th caharcter map and copy

4. past the characters into a text box

5. make another text box for the weld size.

Weld symbols ar eth one main feature that let down the detailing part of Fusion 360. When can we expect this to be implemented?

 

Many thanks
