Question:
How can we get the part marks of plates to write PL10*154 instead of PL10*154.2 on assembly drawings?

Answer:
In order to achieve this, you need to set the advanced option XS_MAX_DECIMALS_IN_PROFILE_NAME=0 in the Profiles category. In addition, for it to work properly, you also need to have the advanced option XS_USE_NEW_PLATE_DESIGNATION=TRUE in the Plate Work category. Whenever some changes are done, you need to update the marks for them to show the changes.

There is no message about this, but changing the XS_MAX_DECIMALS_IN_PROFILE_NAME value requires you to save a model and restart Tekla Structures.
