Check changed marks, notes and dimensions and remove change symbols

Tekla Structures highlights the marks and dimension marks that have changed due to changes in the model, and dimension points that have been moved. Tekla Structures also highlights the changed angle dimensions, level marks, and associative notes.

Tekla Structures highlights the changes in the following way:

  • A change symbol (by default, a cloud) is drawn around the old point, the new point and the dimension values, or around the changed mark or note.

  • An arrow is drawn from the old dimension point to the new one.

Remove change symbols

After you have checked all the change symbols that Tekla Structures has created in your drawing, you can remove all of them or just the selected ones.
