Creates a welding symbols.

Methods
Select the object to attach the welding symbol and specify the points for its location.
- There are two use cases:
-
- When creating a new drawing that will contain mechanical
entities:
- Set the LOADMECHANICAL2D system variable to ON (1).
- Start a new drawing using a Mechanical2d template.
- When opening a drawing that contains mechanical
entities
- Set the LOADMECHANICAL2D system variable to ON (1).
- Open an existent ACM drawing and you can start special symbols creation.
- When creating a new drawing that will contain mechanical
entities:
Note: These symbols are compatible with the legacy AutoCAD
Mechanical application.
Note: The symbol will be added to the AM_5 layer.
Note: After opening a drawing that contains mechanical
entities, filling other drawings with mechanical-related data will be done
on-demand in contrast to previous versions. It will be possible when a user
copies the mechanical-related entities to the vanilla drawing. In the case of
copying, entities that are not related to the mechanical data, a vanilla drawing
will not be filled with mechanical data.
After creating the symbol prototype with the AMWELDSYM command, you can configure the exact welding symbol's properties from the Properties panel:
