Add reinforcement ticks or reinforcement tags in drawings

Reinforcement ticks and reinforcement tags are types of reinforcement marks that you can add for selected reinforcement in drawings. You can add reinforcement ticks and reinforcement tags for individual reinforcement bars, reinforcement bar groups, and reinforcement bar sets.

You can add reinforcement ticks and reinforcement tags manually from the Applications & components catalog when you have a drawing open.

Add reinforcement ticks

  1. Open a drawing that contains reinforcement.
  2. Click the Applications & components button in the side pane to open the Applications & components catalog.
  3. In the catalog, double-click Reinforcement tick.
  4. In the Reinforcement tick dialog box, adjust the used reinforcement mark attribute, mark alignment, arrow orientation, arrow head type, line color, arrow head dimensions, and arrow offsets according to your needs.
  5. Click Apply or OK.
  6. In the drawing, select the reinforcement.
  7. Select a point near the end of the reinforcement to place the reinforcement tick.

See an example of a reinforcement tick below.

Add reinforcement tags

You can add reinforcement tags for reinforcing bars that are perpendicular to the drawing view.

  1. Open a drawing that contains reinforcement.
  2. Click the Applications & components button in the side pane to open the Applications & components catalog.
  3. In the catalog, double-click Reinforcement tag.
  4. In the Reinforcement tag dialog box, adjust the used reinforcement mark attribute, tag pattern, tag orientation, and rotation angle according to your needs.
  5. In the drawing, select the reinforcement.
  6. Select a point near the end of the reinforcement to place the reinforcement tag.

See an example of a reinforcement tag below.

Move reinforcement ticks or reinforcement tags

You can change the position of previously created reinforcement ticks and reinforcement tags by dragging their handles.

  1. Select the reinforcement tick or reinforcement tag.

    Two green handles appear.

  2. Do any of the following:

    Do this

    Move the reinforcement tick or reinforcement tag

    1. Select the handle that is closer to the reinforcement tick or reinforcement tag.

    2. Drag the handle to a new location, and release the mouse.

    Mark another reinforcing bar in a reinforcing bar group or reinforcing bar set

    1. Select the handle that is further from the reinforcement tick or reinforcement tag.

    2. Drag the handle to a new location, and release the mouse.

    Note that you cannot mark another reinforcing bar if you have added the reinforcement tick or the reinforcement tag for an individual reinforcing bar.
