all-round weld symbol

[emonje]

I'm finding it hard to put all-round fillet weld symbol in drafting. I can put fillet weld symbol, but can't find any "all-round" symbol to go with it.
Can anyone please help me out? Thanks.

It should be a leader arrow option, but some welding standards don't support that method apparently because I found it worked better once I changed to another welding standard option.

Cheers

Sorry for the rookie question, but how do I change the welding standard? Thanks

found & tried something. Changed to JIS, ANSI etc. through File-->Utilities-->User Defaults, there seem to be no change in weld symbol dialogue box.

After selecting the weld symbol toolbutton (or from the menu) a toolbar appears next to the Selection Filter. There is a drop-down to select all-around or you can use the Leader tool. The problem is that you can not add the all-around once the weld is created, you have to delete and re-create. There is no option for all-around on 'Edit Leader'. I do not understand why this is or why it is not in the weld dialog box.

In NX 6 you can edit an existing Weld Symbol (at least ones created in NX 6) including being able to change the leader, either adding or removing the 'All-Around' designation.
