On the Connections workbench toolbar, click (Create seam weld).
In the dialog, define the Section size (the length
measured from the toe to the root of the weld).
Define the Minimum length.
Note: Any geometric edges found that are less than the minimum weld length will
not receive a weld.
Optional: Activate the Intermittent weld checkbox to specify
intermittent welds.
Note: Two parameters, weld pitch and weld segment length, are required for
intermittent welds. the pitch must be greater than the segment length. Figure 1.
Click the Weld from solid tab in the Create

Activate the Find parts by keyword radio button,
then enter a string of characters into the text field. Click Find

To accelerate selection, use CTRL-Drag to select a group of parts in the
modeling window. Any parts that are not weld
shaped are flagged and rejected.
