I am currently changing the software we use to do shop drawings from AutoCAD to Rhino 7. In AutoCAD, we would insert the welding symbol as a block, and we used a plug-in that would make a window open that would allow me to edit it by changing the weld symbol, length, pitch, etc… I’ve messed around with a few methods to doing this in Rhino, but it usually involves too many layers and isn’t nearly as clean or customizable as the previous one. Any advise?
Thank you!
maybe a GH definition but I don’t know how to make it
Yeah I was thinking that too but I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do that haha. I’ll try messing around with it.
Can you post an image how you want the weld symbol?
Ok, I see, a GH definition could be more dynamic but I think a script would be more productive.
A script could ask you to draw the central line and after that ask you to fill the texts in a listbox.
To edit the symbol I would operate manually (select the text and editing like a normal text, to modify the arrows I woul turn on cp and pull them).
Also, I would insert the symbol as a block so, if you need, you can edit all symbols at the same time.
I have a layout template with a bunch of commonly used items that I copy into the layout.
Each weld symbol is a group, so I just Ctrl-Shift select to delete or edit parts
I keep telling myself that I’ll write a script to generate them… 
Honestly this may be what I end up doing as I am an intern and I don’t have a ton of time to get this done Do you think it could be easier to just make a template like that then create blocks for each weld symbol so you could insert them with the desired symbols?
Ok, 
I would suggest to save each symbol in a 3dm file into a folder and use Libraries panel to drag and drop into the viewport.
If you organize each type of symbol by folders you can manage them easily.
This is a great idea! Thank you!
