Welding on sheet metal parts

Hello
On a part made of sheet metal, I want to represent the weld seams (see image below: weld between yellow and red sides).
How should I do it.
Thank you.

Hello @stefbeno ,
thank you for your answer,
The problem with this solution is that you have to make 2 drawings with different references, because after having made "welded corner" the unfolded of my sheet metal part is no longer done!

Hello
Strange, the solution provided by my classmates is the right one. There's something wrong somewhere!!

Hello, unless I'm mistaken, the soldered corner function must be the last one of the arbo. If there are sheet metal functions after the part is no longer foldable (vague memory on SW2020)

Indeed, and in fact the functions are grayed out after performing this operation


By the way, nice piece ac_cobra, even if I'm curious to know how you fold it :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

In fact, where it gets stuck with the welded corners, those are the drawings.
one sheet the folded model and a second sheet the unfolded model

@fred even if in the flat-pattern you put the welded corner in the unfolded state?

Hello;

The flatpattern is a configuration on which it is possible (recommended) to "Remove/configure" the "Welded Corner" functions.
Normally these functions deactivate themselves when they are flattened, unless they are created after the fact, in which case they have to be configured with the manual.

Kind regards.
