NUMBER_IN_DRAWING

This is a template attribute. Template attributes can be used in filtering, or to retrieve data from the model to use in drawings and reports. For example, when you create a report, Tekla Structures replaces the attributes added in the report template with the corresponding object property values.

Note that NUMBER_IN_DRAWING works in associative notes and reinforcement marks, but it does not work in templates or filtering.

The attribute NUMBER_IN_DRAWING shows the number of all rebars in a drawing that have the same position number. The neighbor part rebars are ignored. Therefore, use NUMBER_IN_DRAWING in main reinforcement marks only, and not in marks of the visible neighbor reinforcement.

If you include the attribute NUMBER_IN_DRAWING in a reinforcement mark element, you get the number of all rebars in the drawing that have the same position number. For meshes, NUMBER_IN_DRAWING returns the number of similar meshes.
