  • Settings: Displays a list of the weld settings in the project. Click a weld setting to apply that setting to the selected weld(s).

  • Reverse: Reverses the direction of the selected weld(s). The length of the tail at the start and end of the weld indicate the current direction. The longer tail denotes the start of the weld.

  • Copy… Creates multiple copies of the selected weld path. See Copy Welds.

  • Split / Trim… Splits and/or trims the selected weld path(s). See Split / Trim Welds.

  • Join Welds… Joins the selected weld path(s). Requires the selection of two welds. See Join Welds.

  • Make Multi-pass… Converts the currently selected weld(s) into a Multi-pass weld and opens the configuration dialog.

  • The following options are available for Multi-pass welds, when selecting either the root or a pass in the welds.

    • Split Multi-pass into Welds: Converts a multi-pass weld into separate single welds in the project.

    • Remove Multi-pass: Remove the Multi-pass welds from the root weld of the passes, returning it to a single pass weld.

This is useful if the current plan is not suitable and a re-plan attempt is required. Also useful if a weld has been incorrectly identified as inaccessible.
