Replication
Welds (cosmetic, fillet, and groove beads) can be copied or mirrored in assemblies through the Copy Components and Mirror Components tools. Both sets of components that support the weld need to be copied or mirrored for the welds to be copied or mirrored. For example, if a cosmetic weld exists only on component C1 and if C1 is copied or mirrored, the cosmetic weld is also copied or mirrored. You cannot copy or mirror the weld beads without its components being copied or mirrored. Weld beads can be derived from the assembly into another part document using the Derived Component tool in parts.
