XS_​BOLT_​DUPLICATE_​IGNORE

Category in Advanced options dialog box: Numbering

Note:

Do not use this advanced option in new models. This advanced option was a temporary solution that has been replaced with a more comprehensive option.

Instead of the XS_BOLT_DUPLICATE_... advanced options, use the No hole option for Special hole type in the Bolt properties.

If necessary in existing models, use this advanced option to define whether duplicate bolt holes in the same location, or within a tolerance, in a part are ignored in part numbering, and in drawings and NC files.

The default value is FALSE.

If this advanced option is set to TRUE, the duplicate bolt holes are ignored in part numbering, and in drawings and NC files.

You can use this advanced option when only some and possibly a different set of the holes in otherwise identical parts will be used for bolting on site. In this way identical parts can be used in different conditions in the structure.

The size of the duplicate holes is not taken into consideration, only the location, so holes of different size are considered duplicates if they are in the same location.

If there are overlapping holes within the tolerance, the hole without a bolt is taken into account, and the hole created by an actual bolt is ignored.

Note:

It is not recommended to change this advanced option during a project, but if you do so, you must carry out full numbering.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
