secondary properties can be modified independently for each weld inside a logical weld or for
single welds.

b) Optional: Enter the properties.
c) If you want to populate the fields with the properties of an existing weld, select the
weld in the model and click Get.

Use this extended application to switch the main part to a secondary part and vice versa.
This tool does not work on welds which are part of a logical weld.
6.2 Usage
a) Click on Switch Main To Secondary icon.
b) Select the welds whose main part you want to switch to a secondary part.
c) Click the middle mouse button to end the selection.
6.3 Additional information
If you try to modify welds that are part of logical welds, the status bar prompts the
following error message: Some picked welds are part of logical welds, and the
command is interrupted.

Use this extended application to group welds with the same primary properties and with the
same secondary part into logical welds.

a) Click on Group Welds icon.
b) To select the welds in the model:
Select each weld;

or
Use area selection by dragging the mouse. Click the middle mouse button to end
the selection.
c) Welds with the same primary properties and the same secondary part are grouped
into logical welds.
If you try to group welds which have different primary properties but the same
secondary part, the following warning is displayed: Some welds were not grouped
because they had different primary properties.

or
Use area selection by dragging the mouse. Click the middle mouse button to end
the selection.

Use this extended application to join several polygon welds into a single weld. This tool does
not work on welds which are part of a logical weld.
9.2 Usage
a) Click on Join Welds icon.
b) Select welds that have the same primary and secondary parts. To select the welds:
Select each weld;

or
Use area selection by dragging the mouse. End selection with the middle mouse
button.
c) The tool searches for consecutive welds and joins them together if they have a
common point. For example, you can join three welds into one.
d) The resulting weld has the same weld number as the first weld of the consecutive
welds.
If any of the welds that are selected to be joined has user-modified length then the
result weld length is a sum of all weld user-inputted lengths. Otherwise, the length is
equal to the sum of actual polygons of the joined welds.
If you try to join welds that have different properties, a dialogue box will ask you to
override them with the properties of the first selected weld.
If you try to join welds that have the same primary and secondary parts but no
common point, the following warning message is displayed: Some welds could not
be joined.
