I'm curious how you think multi-body part modeling and weldment design interact. Here it looks like you've chosen to make your weldment as an assembly of multiple parts. Do you think there's a place for creating a weldment as a single, multi-body part, or am I just going to be fighting with Creo every step of the way? I'm in Creo 8.
I don't know what that means, but I also don't have the time (or inclination, honestly) to provide individual support (despite the numerous emails I receive daily). I recommend contacting PTC Technical Support or your reseller.
Any tips on selecting the second edge? It isn't "catching" it. I see the outline of both contact surfaces per step and can select the first edge without a problem. The second edge is giving me bother. TIA!
@@CADPLMGuy No, but I actually just solved my problem by creating two bevel groove angle cuts. I have a feeling the problem arose because of the two components having rounded chamfers along joining axes, but with different orientations. So as if Creo didn't know how to cut through them at the same time. Hence the bevel groove doing the trick.
Thank you. Very helpful.

Since people have been able to create welds in parts for a long time (Wildfire?), you shouldn’t have any issues creating welds in a Multibody part.
@@CADPLMGuy I'm having trouble creating views of the individual burnouts without post-weld features.

Have you tried Query Select or Pick from List?

I don’t follow, but if you feel it’s an issue with the software, I suggest filing a ticket with PTC Tech Support.
