I wanted to share an idea regarding weld features in Autodesk Inventor. In structural and other fabrication designs, penetration and partial penetration welds are among the most commonly used types. However, Inventor currently doesn’t offer a direct option for creating these welds. Of course, there is the groove weld option, but in many cases, it doesn't work as expected. For example, in the attached image, I needed to create a full penetration weld between two flanges. To achieve this, I had to: Perform edge preparation manually, Select the two faces, Enable the radial option. This method worked, but not exactly as intended, and it's more complicated than it should be for such a common weld type. Suggestion: It would be extremely helpful if Inventor allowed users to simply select two faces and automatically create a penetration weld, skipping the manual edge preparation step. This would streamline the workflow and make it much more efficient for structural and fabrication design tasks
