User-defined or sketched symbols are defined in the Drawing Re-
sources and are placed like standard symbols. They are used to define
custom symbols that are not available in Autodesk Inventor.
Bend Notes
A bend not adds fabricating information to sheet metal bend, contour
roll, and cosmetic centerlines. Bend notes can be added to flat pattern
views of sheet metal parts.
A bend note is associated with the selected bend centerline. The de-
fault placement of the bend note is above the selected bend center-
line. It constrains the bend text to the midpoint of the centerline and
offsets by the Origin Offset value from the Dimension Style.
Punch Notes
A punch note includes data related to the punch feature: for example
the punch ID, angle, direction, depth, quantity note, and so on.
Punch notes can be added to flat pattern views of sheet metal parts.
Caterpillars
Weld caterpillars are used to denote weld features in 2D views. You
can add weld caterpillars manually using the Caterpillar command.
Add them automatically from weld features using Get Model Annota-
tions > Get Weld Annotations on the right-click menu.
End Fills
End fills are used to represent the filled region indicating the end of
a weld bead. You can add them manually using the End Fill command
or automatically from weldment models using Get Model Annotations
> Get Weld Annotations.
Change end fill appearance through object properties.
