Inside’.
Refer to: Frame - Standard Weld Notes
Add Standard Weld to Remarks
This
drop list displays notes that contain standard wording for welds. Wording can
be modified as desired.
**Note**
The
‘Locate with WELD SIDE to Clip’ is used to rotate web clip 90 degrees from the
normal orientation. This allows the weld
side to be located away from the web.
This
weld note can only be used on the web and with the weld detail – ‘Web Clip
Adjacent WP at Edge’.
