Weld symbols

[rossob]

Is there a way you can compress the physical spacing of weld symbols? By this I mean that weld symbols by default are very spread out.

I have attached a copy of a standard weld symbol. In it, you can see that the weld size digit is quite far away from the weld symbol, the contour symbol is a long way from the weld symbol, and the 'G' (to denote grinding) is also a long way from home.

I have tried playing with the line spacing, aspect ratio, etc, but to no avail. Am I able to modify a standard (or any other setting I've missed) to achieve a more compact weld symbol?

Also, we tend to use stacked weld symbols frequently in our fabrication drawings. Is there any way of creating these in NX5? It doesn't seem to be available in the weld symbol nterface (unless I've missed it).
