Are you talking about creating a Weld Symbol or the actual weld feature.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

The weld symbol for a staggered weld (sorry about being unclear).

What I need is a weld symbol that shows a fillet weld on both sides (arrow side, and other side) with the welds staggered, so the fillet symbol triangles will be offset from each other.

OK, here is where you set the 'Staggered Weld' option:

Thanks,
Can we do something like what is shown on the bottom half of the attached picture?
I guess "staggered and intermitant" is the proper term.

Thanks

If you're referring to the 'schematic' showing the layout of the welds, NO that's not part of the Weld Symbol function. Besides, I'm not sure this is even covered by the Weld Standards, despite the fact that it might prove helpful.

It seems to be covered by weld standards, as I am finding it in the Machinery's Handbook, as well as various Internet resources.
I was able to get want I needed by combining a couple weld symbols.

Thanks

It is in the middle of the weld symbol dialog, in the weld line section. Third box from the left.
