The GOST weld symbol has four string input boxes. These input boxes may contain a combination of text and %XX property text codes.
After placing the cursor in a weld symbol box, you can select the Symbols buttons, Values buttons, or open the Symbols and Values dialog box to insert the appropriate property text codes. The property text codes convert to weld symbols and weld data when the symbol is placed in the document.
Symbols
The Symbols buttons (A) specify the weld symbol type, as well as insert frequently used symbols such as number, diameter, plus-minus, and degree.
Values
The Values buttons (B) extract weld data, such as base thickness, bead length, number of weld beads, and pitch.
Symbols and Values
Opens the Select Symbols and Values dialog box for you to select other symbols and model-derived values without having to type the property text codes yourself.
