Using the visibility options in the mark properties you can indicate whether the marks are displayed in a drawing. You can modify these settings before creating a drawing, and also in an open drawing after creating a drawing.

1. On the Drawings & reports tab, click Drawing properties and select the drawing type.
2. Load drawing properties that are as close to the ones you need as possible.
3. For bolt marks and weld marks in assembly and single-part drawings, adjust the following settings located at the bottom of the View creation page. These settings affect all views in a drawing:
   • The Weld mark visible setting controls the visibility of model weld marks in assembly drawing views. The options are:
     • In one view: Tekla Structures automatically finds the most relevant view for showing the model weld marks. Every weld mark is shown in a drawing in one view only.
     • In all views: Tekla Structures adds the model weld marks in all drawing views that contain the part with the weld.
   • The Weld size limit setting filters welds of the defined size and bigger out of all views in a drawing. This setting is available in single-part drawings and assembly drawings.
   • The Ignore bolt size setting filters standard-sized bolt marks out of all views in a drawing, which means that Tekla Structures does not display bolt marks of the defined bolt size in the drawings. This setting is available in single-part drawings and assembly drawings.
4. Do one of the following depending on the drawing type. Note that all settings are not available for all mark types.

   Drawing type	Adjust mark visibility settings
   Single-part, assembly and cast unit drawings:	Click View creation in the options tree on the left, select the view and the properties that you want to change, and click View properties. You need to adjust the setting for all the views in the drawing separately. Click a mark type in the options tree. For example, click Part mark. Go to the General tab and select whether you want to display marks by selecting one of the Visibility in view options. The available options depend on the mark type: distributed: Distributes the marks evenly in the drawing view. Tekla Structures only creates marks that are not visible in the other views. always: Always creates marks in the view, regardless of the settings in other views. Selecting the option always might slow down the drawing update during opening, even if you had deleted the marks manually. Select preferred for one view only in a drawing. If you set other views to distributed, the marks are located only in the view that has the setting Visibility in view set to preferred. The option preferred acts like the option distributed, but the preferred view has a higher priority. none: Does not create marks. Note that if you want to create your own marks, always use the distributed option. In Parts out of view plane, select whether you want to display marks for parts that are out of view plane: Visible: Displays marks for parts outside the view in the drawing. Not visible: Displays no marks for parts outside the view in the drawing. For bolt marks, select if you want to show bolt marks in main parts, secondary parts, sub-assembly main parts, or in sub-assembly secondary parts. For bolt marks, you can also define the Ignore size, which filters marks for standard-sized bolts out of drawings. Tekla Structures will not display bolt marks of the bolt size you enter here. Note that this setting is also available in drawing level properties at the bottom of the View creation page. For weld marks, select if and how you want to show weld marks in sub-assemblies and hidden parts. For weld marks, you can also define the Weld size limit to filter welds of the defined size and bigger out of the drawing. Note that this setting is also available in drawing level properties at the bottom of the View creation page. Click Save to save the changes in view properties, and then click Close to return to drawing properties. Click Save to save the drawing properties, then click OK and create the drawing.
