Create Spot Welds on Line

Create a series of spot welds along a line or polyline.

  1. In the Connections workbench toolbar, click the (Create spot or laser welds) icon to open the Create spot or laser welds dialog.
  2. Under Type, select the Spot weld radio button.
  3. Activate the Spots on line radio button.
  4. Use the up/down arrows to define the Number of spots.
  5. In the modeling window, pick points to position the spots line.
  6. Define the Spot diameter.
  7. Click OK to create.
    Note: Welds will only be found within a tolerance of the spot weld diameter. So, for a 5mm weld, the XYZ values must be within 5mm of the part surfaces.
