Calling all Welding drawing gurus

[RacingD98]

I need to show Nondestructive inspection (PT, RT, MT, etc.) symbols with my welding symbols, where, according to ANSI standards, they are combined into one callout using two reference lines. (As crudely shown below) How can this be done in Solidworks?

Heckler, I already have that one in my favorites, and you are right, it is an excellent site.
However, the question remains: Using Solidworks and its functionality of inserting weld symbols into drawings, how does one go about showing the combined symbols in a format that meets ANSI standards.

I don't work with these, so I don't know if there's a native SW tool to handle them. But if its not built into SW, then you could: Sketch them, Make Blocks out of them, then Insert and Modify them were needed.

If SW does not allow the style you show, you can 'cheat' by adding 2 or more weld arrows overlaying one on top of the other.
