XS_​OMITTED_​BOLT_​TYPE

Category in Advanced options dialog: Marking - bolts

Use this advanced option to define which bolt standards to omit from drawings. Enter the name of the bolt standard, for example, 7990. You can also use wildcards, such as * or ?. By default, no value is given, which means that no bolt standards are omitted. This advanced option only accepts one value, and no spaces are allowed.

Example: To filter away all the bolt marks of bolts of the bolt standards A325N, A325X and A325SC, set this advanced option to A325*.

IMPORTANT: For this advanced option to work, you also need to define the following:

  • A size for the Ignore bolt size bolt mark setting on the drawing level
  • A value for the advanced option XS_OMITTED_DIAMETER_TYPE, which defines the bolt diameter type of the marks to omit
  • A value for the advanced option XS_OMITTED_BOLT_ASSEMBLY_TYPE, which filters out the given type of bolt marks (SITE, SHOP, SITE AND SHOP)

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