Legacy Weldment Document (.PWD)

Specifies that a (.PWD) document template is used when creating weldment documents. This option should only be set if you are completing a weldment design project that was started in Solid Edge version 17 or earlier.

In a future release of Solid Edge, the (.PWD) document capability will be removed and all weldment design will be done in the Assembly environment using an assembly (.ASM) template.
