Thanks! This was the final step to replace Drawing/DrawingDimensioning. Will test when it is in master.

You had asked for welding symbols. Did you have a look at Hamish's? See https://github.com/hamish2014/FreeCAD_d ... ns/welding

I did. Some alignment issues, size differences and (some of?) Hamish's icons include the leader line. They also have arrow side and other side icons in the same symbol? Could be edited to work of course.

Same workflow as in your screengrab?
  1. create and place leader
  2. define and add welding symbol to leader
compared to:
  1. define weldment symbol and place with leader

This could well be something which non-developers can do. Can you tell us what requirements you have?

I was hoping somebody would take on the creation of the symbols. :)
TechDraw_WeldingSymbol#Svg_Symbol_Tiles should cover most of it.

The ones I've done are in "...Mod/TechDraw/Symbols/Welding/AWS". My plan is to have ISO symbols (are they much different?) go into "...Mod/TechDraw/Symbols/Welding/ISO". Any other standard could get their own directory.

Yes, this is how it works now. The other way would retire a bit more programming, but could be done if the current method is too awkward.
