This task shows you how to create a welding spot
projection and which one of the connected zones is specified as a projection
zone. |
|
There are several ways to create a spot projection:
- a joint and a
joint body are already created: click the desired icon and select the
joint body in the selection tree.
- a joint and a
joint body are already created: select the joint body in the
selection tree and click the desired icon (here is the example used for
our scenario).
- no joint body is created. Select the components or the publications,
and click the desired icon: a joint and a joint body are created if
needed.
