Define size in bolt marks using advanced options

You can use certain advanced options to define the contents of the bolt mark Size element in different types of drawings.

To change the bolt mark Size element content, go to File menu > Settings > Advanced options > Marking - bolts.

Note:

General arrangement drawings have separate advanced options.
Any changes made to the advanced options listed in the table below will take place only in the new drawings you create, and if you modify the affected bolt marks.


To	Do this
Define the contents of the size element in bolt marks.	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_BOLT_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_BOLT_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in bolt marks for workshop bolts.	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_BOLT_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_BOLT_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in bolt marks for site bolts.	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_BOLT_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_BOLT_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in slotted hole marks.	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_LONGHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_LONGHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in slotted hole marks for workshop bolts.	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_LONGHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_LONGHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in slotted hole marks for site bolts.	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_LONGHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_LONGHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in marks for oversized bolt holes (workshop).	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_OVERSIZEDHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_OVERSIZEDHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in marks for oversized bolt holes (site).	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_OVERSIZEDHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_OVERSIZEDHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in marks for tapped bolt holes (workshop).	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_TAPPEDHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_TAPPEDHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in marks for tapped bolt holes (site).	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_TAPPEDHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_TAPPEDHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in hole marks.	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_HOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_HOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in hole marks for workshop bolts.	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_HOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SHOP_HOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.
Define the contents of the size element in hole marks for site bolts.	Set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_HOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE`. For GA-drawings, set a value for the advanced option `XS_SITE_HOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE_IN_GA`.

You can use any combination of text and the following options as the value for the above advanced options. You can use the options in any order, and make calculations.

BOLT_NUMBER
DIAMETER
LENGTH
HOLE.DIAMETER
HOLE_DIAMETER
LONG_HOLE_X
LONG_HOLE_Y
LONGHOLE_MIN (the shorter of the slotted hole dimensions)
LONGHOLE_MAX (the longer of the slotted hole dimensions)
BOLT_STANDARD
BOLT_MATERIAL
BOLT_ASSEMBLY_TYPE
BOLT_COUNTERSUNK
BOLT_SHORT_NAME
BOLT_FULL_NAME

Enclose each option in % characters.

To use special characters, enter a backslash (\) followed by an ASCII number.

With length-type options, but not in calculations, you can specify the number of decimals. For example, HOLE.DIAMETER.2 shows (tapped) hole diameters with two decimals.

Example

Example of using the advanced options:

XS_LONGHOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE=D%HOLE.DIAMETER%(%HOLE.DIAMETER+LONG_HOLE_X%x%HOLE.DIAMETER+LONG_HOLE_Y%)

XS_SITE_HOLE_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE=D%HOLE.DIAMETER%

Please note that for calculations the operator (+, -, *, /) must not be outside the "%" marks:

Correct: %OPTION1*OPTION2%

Incorrect: %OPTION1%*%OPTION2%

For example, if OPTION1 = 5.0 and OPTION2 = 3.0, the results would be "15" and "5*3".
