ANSI Generic Welding
Symbols
This appendix presents generic symbols allowing you to create

welding, brazing, and examination symbols in a drawing according
to the ANSI standard. To aid you in creating symbol instances, it
provides the following information for each generic symbol:
• The generic symbol name and brief description.

• An example of an instance created from this generic symbol and
the associated menu picks.
• Listings of groups and subgroups in menu format reflecting a
tree symbol definition structure.
• Notes advising how to correctly create instances using a specific
group listing.
You can also see the Glossary of Menu Picks on page 1 - 3 for an
explanation of menu selections for welding symbols.
1-1
Welding Symbols Library
The Welding Symbols Library, available with Pro/DETAIL,
provides a collection of generic system symbols according to the
ANSI standard. Using this library, you can create a variety of
welding, brazing, and examination symbols in a drawing.
To retrieve a symbol from the Welding Symbol Library, choose

System Syms from the Select File menu to access the
Pro/ENGINEER symbols area. For information on how to create
symbols, see the Drawing User’s Guide.
The generic symbols comply with the following restrictions:
• Symbol dimensions are in accordance with ANSI/AWS A2.4-86,

Appendix A.
• Text height is .063 inches.
• Text width is .8.
• A typical entry of variable text allows a maximum of three
spaces (note that a decimal point is also considered a space).
For example: [.11], [1.1], and [111] are legal entries. Entering
more than three characters can overwrite other text or symbol
entities. Exceptions include the following text entries:
FILLET_SIZE 7 spaces
REINFORCE_SIZE 7 spaces
LENGTH 4 spaces
PITCH 4 spaces
• Only decimal values are allowed for numeric entries.

• Default text (text enclosed in brackets), entered for variable
text, has no physical meaning and is intended only to illustrate
the format of the number you are prompted to enter. If you do
not enter text (numeric or alphanumeric) at the system prompt,
the system places the default text instead.
Controlling Symbol and Text Size

Welding symbols are variable height symbols. To modify the symbol
height, use the Height option in the Mod Symbol menu.
1-2 WELDING SYMBOLS™ LIBRARY Catalog

The text height in symbols is related to the height of the symbol
size. To match the text height appearing in the symbol to the text
Welding Symbols
ANSI Generic
height in the drawing, scale the instance accordingly (either while
adding an instance to the drawing, or later by changing the symbol
height).
Customizing Your Symbols

Using the Copy Symbol option in the Symbol Edit menu, you can
customize the height of your symbols and adjust the draft entities
associated with it. When you choose this option, assign each symbol
a new name and then retrieve it into the edit window for
customization. To change the height of the symbol text, use Modify
Text in the Symbol Edit menu. To move the draft entities, use Tools
in the Detail menu.
Welding Symbol Library Structure

Each type of generic symbol resides in a separate directory
according to the following classification:
• Combination welding symbols allow you to create three kinds of

welding symbols: with arrow-side significance, with other-side
significance, and with both arrow- and other-side significance.
The names of the combination symbols start with “COMB_...”.
• One-side welding symbols allow you to create welding symbols
with either arrow-side or other-side significance.
• Brazing symbols enable you to create a required brazing
symbol.
• Examination symbols provide a means to create symbols
indicating the type of examination and radiation source.
Glossary of Menu Picks

This glossary explains the different menu selections available in
the Welding Symbol Library and identifies information you are
prompted to enter. For a comprehensive explanation of the types of
welds and restrictions, consult ANSI/AWS A.2.4-86, Standard
Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Non-destructive Examination,
and applicable welding symbols standards. In the second table, all
items identified with an asterisk require you to enter a numeric or
text value after you select all characteristics of the welding symbol.
In the DESCRIPTION column, menu items are shown in bold,
while text entries are shown in plain text.
ANSI Generic Welding Symbols 1-3

In the group listings, exclusive groups are enclosed in a double
frame, while independent groups are in a single frame. In this
appendix, for the purpose of clarity, overlapping text lines are
spread to make them readable.

ISO Welding Symbols
This appendix presents examples of symbols that enable you to

create welding, brazing, and examination symbols in a drawing
according to the ISO standard. To help you create symbol instances,
it provides the following information for each symbol:
• The symbol name

• An example of an instance created from this symbol and the
associated menu picks
• Listings of groups and subgroups in menu format reflecting a
tree symbol definition structure
You can also refer to Glossary of Menu Picks below for an
explanation of menu selections for welding symbols.
2-1
Welding Symbols Library
ISO Welding
The Welding Symbols Library, available with Pro/DETAIL,
Symbols
provides a collection of symbols according to the ISO standard.
Using this library, you can create a variety of welding, brazing, and
examination symbols in a drawing.
To retrieve a symbol from the Welding Symbol Library, choose

System Syms from the Select File menu to access the
Pro/ENGINEER symbols area. (For information concerning the
creation of symbols in accordance with the ANSI standard, see
Appendix B, ANSI Generic Welding Symbols. For information on
how to create symbols in Pro/ENGINEER, see the Drawing User’s
Guide.)
Glossary of Menu Picks

This glossary describes terms that are unique to the ISO Welding
Symbol Library and identifies information you are prompted to
enter. Menu pick names track the ISO Welding Symbol Library to
the fullest extent possible. (For terms that are also used in the
ANSI Welding Symbol Library—and are, therefore, not unique to
the ISO Welding Symbol Library—see Glossary of Menu Picks in
Appendix B, ANSI Generic Welding Symbols)
In the ISO Welding Symbol Library, two lines form the reference
line, one solid and one dashed. Weld symbols attached to the solid
line are “arrow-side.” Weld symbols attached to the dashed line are
“other-side.” The dashed line is only omitted for symmetrical welds.
When creating a welding symbol, you first select whether the weld
is arrow side, other-side, or symmetrical. If you choose
ARROW_SIDE or OTHER_SIDE, the system prompts you to
create the weld symbol above or beneath the reference line. It then
places the dashed line appropriately in the symbol depending on
whether it is arrow-side or other-side.
ISO Weld Characteristics Menu Selections

ABOVE_REF Creates the weld symbol above the
solid reference line.
AS_ABOVE_ REF Indicates (for combination welding
symbols only) whether the
arrow-side welding symbol is placed
above or beneath the reference line.
ISO Welding Symbols 2-2

BENEATH_REF Creates the weld symbol beneath
the solid reference line.
BUTT_SIZE Refers to the final size of the weld,
depending on the symbol type
(arrow-side, other-side,
symmetrical, or staggered). It might
have the suffix “AS” (arrow-side) or
“OS” (other-side) to indicate the
appropriate weld side.
CONTOUR SMOOTH_BLEND Describes the final shape of the
weld. This choice indicates that the
toes of the weld are blended
smoothly.
FINISH In the ANSI standard, this specifies
the method of finishing. In the ISO
standard, the system adds a
machine finish surface texture
symbol above the contour symbol.
FILLET_SIZE Refers to the final size of the weld,
FIL_SIZE Refers to the final size of the weld,
HOLE_DIA Refers to the diameter of a plug
weld.
OS_ABOVE_ REF Indicates (for combination welding
symbols only) whether the
other-side welding symbol is placed
above or beneath the reference line.
PROJECT_DIA Refers to the diameter of a
projection weld.
SEAM_WIDTH Refers to the width of a seam weld.

SPOT_DIA Refers to the diameter of a spot or
ISO Welding
fusion weld.
Symbols
STYLE Refers to the longitudinal dimension
of a weld. Two choices are available:
CONTINOUS • Weld joint continuously for the
specified length.
INTERMITTENT • Creates weld beads of specified
length, distance between adjacent
weld elements, and specific
number of beads.
SYMMETRICAL Refers to a welding symbol for
creating identical welds on both
arrow-side and other- side.
TAIL Creates a tail on the opposite end of
the welding symbol from the leader
attachment. Provides two choices:
REFERENCE • Enters reference text or note.
WELD_PROCESS • Specifies a welding process.
WELD_SIZE Refers to the final size of the weld,
WELD_TYPE For combination welding symbols,
indicates the type of weld being
created and whether it is created
arrow-side or other-side (e.g.,
FILLET_AS).
