Why you'll love Weldia Designer 2

Weldia Designer 1 was already fast. What still took time was the dimensions, the weld symbol and the pass numbers. Weldia Designer 2 was built to do those for you.

ISO and AWS symbols, one click apart

A WPS for a US customer needs AWS A2.4; the same joint for Europe needs ISO 2553. Draw it once. Switch the standard and every symbol, the size notation, the process in the tail and the dimension style redraw themselves the way that standard wants them.

Dimensions as in CAD, bound to the joint

Real dimensions, not drawn lines. Pick the edges and the dimension draws itself, labelled t1, t2 or ⌀D the way a WPS does, or with the measured value. Open the bevel, move the plate or mirror the joint and every dimension follows.

The joint in 3D, from the drawing you already have

One click turns the 2D joint into a 3D section view for the shop floor or a training slide.

A drawing library shared with colleagues

The next WPS starts from the last drawing. Saved as you work, in a library the whole company account searches; open a colleague's drawing and carry on.

Weldia WPS has Designer built in

Weldia WPS includes Designer. Insert any drawing from your library into a WPS or WPQR without exporting a single file, and keep drawings and documents in one place.

Passes and layers

Pass sequence for the WPS. Number the passes, show the joint with or without them, lock what is finished.

Favorites

Star the plates, tubes and profiles you use; the palette lists them first.

Scale and units

Presets in mm or inches; every dimension is the real measure.

Text and notes

Wrapping text boxes, ⌀ ± ° × in the palette, notes anchored to a weld.

Export

Paste it into Word, Excel or your WPS form. PNG at print resolution, also in black and white for the printed WPS.

Other tools

What else you no longer do by hand:

  • Snapping: parts land on the grid and edges meet where they should.
  • Freeform shapes and lines for what no palette has.
  • Masking: hide part of a drawing with a polygon you can edit.

… and a lot more.

Frequently asked questions

Drawing

Do I need CAD skills?

No. You place parametric plates, tubes and welds and type the dimensions; the tool draws the lines, hatching and symbols.

Do I draw the dimensions by hand?

No. Pick an edge, two edges or an arc; the tool measures it and draws the dimension, as a CAD dimension tool would. It stays bound to the object and follows every move.

Can I change the hatching direction?

It is automatic. Hatching runs at 45° to each part's own edges and a mirrored part gets the opposite diagonal, so adjacent parts differ on their own, as ISO 128-50 asks. Rotate or mirror a part and the hatching follows.

My joint is not in the palette. What then?

Start from the closest plate, tube or profile and finish it with free lines, a freeform shape, the eraser and text. Write to us about the joint; the palette grows from such requests.

Can I import a photo, DWG or DXF?

No. Weldia Designer 2 draws from its own parametric objects and exports PNG. It is a weld-detail tool, not a CAD.

Standards and units

ISO or AWS?

Both. Switch the standard per drawing, and set the default for new drawings in the settings.

What changes when I switch the standard?

The identification line, the fillet size notation (a or z under ISO, leg size under AWS), the process reference in the tail (135 under ISO 4063, GMAW under AWS), the units, and the dimensioning: under AWS the values sit horizontally in a break of the dimension line and the extension lines stop short of the part, as ASME Y14.5 draws them. The drawing itself stays.

Can I draw in inches?

Yes. Pick an inch scale preset; AWS symbols then use fractional inches.

Output

How do I get the drawing into my WPS or Word?

Export a PNG and paste it. In Weldia WPS the drawing is part of the document; no export. More about Weldia WPS

I have Weldia WPS. Do I need Weldia Designer 2 as well?

No. Weldia WPS has Designer built in; with a WPS licence you draw the joint and place it in the document.

I was using Weldia Designer 1. What happened to my drawings?

They are already in Weldia Designer 2, exactly as they were. Nothing to convert, nothing to re-upload. See what changed

Hosting and data

Do I need to install anything?

No. Weldia Designer 2 runs in your browser, on a computer or a tablet.

Where is my data stored?

In Frankfurt, Germany, with daily encrypted backups in the EU. Data and security

Can we run it on our own servers?

No. Weldia Designer 2 is a cloud service; there is no on-premise version.

Free trial

Is there a free version?

No. Weldia Designer 2 has a 7-day trial and needs no card. After that a licence is per user, from 14 US$ a month on the annual term.

What is in the trial?

7 days, 5 drawings and 1 example drawing to explore. Exported images carry a watermark.

What happens to my drawings when the trial ends?

They stay in your account. Buy a licence any time and carry on where you stopped.

Can I extend the trial?

Ask us. Tell us what you want to test. Write to info@weldia.com

Licences and users

Can several people share one licence?

No. Each licence is in one user's name. When someone leaves, your company administrator reassigns it in the account.

Does the account administrator need a licence?

No. One person administers the company account: buys licences, assigns them, adds and removes users. That can be someone from purchasing who never opens a drawing.

Can my colleagues see my drawings?

Yes. Drawings live in one library shared across the company account, with search; anyone with a licence can open and edit them.

Can I add users during the term?

Yes, from the account, any time. You pay for the months left in the term, and all licences then end on the same day.

Paying

How does a company pay?

Card or invoice, PO number and VAT ID at checkout, quotation PDF for purchasing, one licence per user. Get a quotation

Can purchasing send you a purchase order?

Yes, but the order is placed in the account by your administrator, who needs no licence. Enter your PO number and the invoice address at checkout; the proforma or invoice carries both.

Can we pay a tax invoice instead of a proforma?

Yes. Write to us before you order and we switch your company account to invoicing. You get a tax invoice with 30 days to pay, and the licence starts when the payment arrives.

When does the licence start?

With a card, right after payment. With an invoice, when the payment arrives. A licence bought while another one runs starts when that one ends.

Does the licence renew automatically?

No. No card is stored and nothing renews by itself. Terms run 1, 3, 6, 12 or 36 months; extend from your account before the end and the new term follows on.
