Weld Properties can be used to open a window that shows the custom properties of the one or multiple welds that you select. You must do either step 1b (preselection) or step 3 (in-tool selection) to select the welds.
1a : You need to be in Modeling , and members need to be displayed in a solid form . The display of " Welds " needs to be turned on in View > Display Options .
Select Items bindings (step 1b) 1b (optional) : In Select Items mode with the selection filter set to, for example, ' Welds ', use Select or Select+ (or draw an area box ) to select the weld(s) whose properties you want to review or change. Or you can use the Model Tree or Advanced Selection to select the welds.
2 . Invoke Weld Properties using any one (1) of the following methods:
Method 1 : Click the Weld Properties icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Model -- Weld ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).
Method 2 : If " Modeling layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Model > Weld > Properties .
Method 3, 4 or 5 : Weld Properties can also be configured to be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the lightning interface, this configuration is done using Customize Interface .
3 (if required) . This step is required if you did not select welds in step 1b . No special selection filter is required to do this step. The program skips this step if you did select welds in step 1b.

Select Item(s) bindings |
3a (if you didn't do 1b) : Select Item(s) mouse bindings are activated, and the status line prompts you to " Select weld(s) to edit properties ." Press the Enter key or right-click ( Menu ) and choose " OK " on the menu when you are done selecting the welds you want. Go to step 4.
Alternative : You can press the Esc key (or right-click and choose " Cancel " on the context menu ) if you want to end this operation without editing properties. Do not continue.
If the " Flavor " that was selected at the time your current Job was created was a modular flavor, the Edit Properties window opens.
If the " Flavor " was a legacy flavor, the Custom Properties window opens.
Regardless of the name of the window that opens, any changes that you make to properties on that window will be applied to all welds that you selected in step 1b (or step 3) at the time that you press " OK " to close that window.
