When inserting a weld symbol in drafting mode I am not able to find how to include the symbol that would imply that the weld is all the way around. This would be a circle at the point of intersection on the leader.

Thanks in advance,

Insert --> Symbol --> Weld Symbol. In the Selection toolbar just
above the cue line, select the Leader Tool icon. Note - this part of the
Selection toolbar will only appear when the Weld Symbol function is open.

In the Leader Tool dialog, select the Leader Type dropdown. The all-around
leader type is selectable from the dropdown.
 
The leader type tool icon appears on the selection bar when you create any kind if annotation including Notes, GD&T, ID Symbols and of course Weld Symbols. It probably isn't where you expect to find in when searching through the weld symbol dialogs.

Just checked NX6, the all around leader option is now part of the weld dialogue, just where you'd expect it, well done Siemens
