XS_​DRAWING_​UPDATE_​VIEW_​PLACING

Category in Advanced options dialog: Drawing properties

Use this advanced option to control how the view placing and view and sheet size scaling work in drawing update. If the views do not fit on the sheet, with certain values, Tekla Structures increases the sheet size using the drawing layout properties if autosizing is enabled and/or scales the views if autoscaling is enabled in the drawing properties (Layout > Drawing size > Size definition mode > Autosize and Layout > Scale > Autoscale). Use this advanced option together with XS_INTELLIGENT_DRAWING_ALLOWED.

Available values are listed below. You can use a single value or a combination of values separated with commas.

TRUE

FALSE

SHEET

SCALE

GA

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

Limitation: This functionality does not affect anchor bolt plans.
