ASSEMBLY_POSITION_CODE
Shows the assembly position code. The code identifies the grid position. The position of the objects is calculated based on the closest grid.

TOLERANCE LINE |
The position code consists of grid line labels in the x and y directions (alternatively in the z direction). If an assembly begins or ends outside the first or last grid line, a < or > character is included in the position code. For example, if an assembly begins outside the A grid line, this field shows:
<A/2
If an assembly is completely within a tolerance distance (by default 500 mm) of grid line A, the position code is the label of that grid line: A.
If the assembly is partially or entirely outside the tolerance distance, the code is a combination of grid labels: A-B.
To change the default tolerance distance, set the advanced option
XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_CODE_TOLERANCE=750
(for example).
To include the Z orientation in the code, set the advanced option
XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_CODE_3D
to TRUE. The code would be similar to: <A-B/1-2/1-+1000
Tekla Structures selects the grid to use as follows:
-
Tekla Structures checks the location of the assembly.
-
If it is located inside several grids, Tekla Structures checks whether the assembly is parallel to grid lines or the plane.
-
If there are several parallel grids, Tekla Structures selects the closest.
