Weldment Question

I am trying to learn how to use the weldment feature in SolidWorks 2007 SP2.2 and am not really sure I'm understanding it correctly. Please let me know if my assumptions below are correct.


1. The cut list is only populated automatically by parts formed of structural members.
2. The program only creates filet weld beads.
3. The weldment is a part; you cannot make a weldment environment in an assembly.


I've spent all day trying to see if my assumptions are wrong, but so far I have only found that the weldment feature is limited.


Any responses are very appreciated.


Thanks,


Kevin

1. correctIts populated to ease the work


3. you can make assembly its up to you but making small structures and frame in part level and then to use them in Huge assembly is a good practice
