Category in Advanced options dialog: Marking - bolts

Use to define the contents of the size element in bolt marks for site bolts in general arrangement drawings.

This advanced option is only used when there is a bolt and the hole is a normal one.

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

  • BOLT_NUMBER

  • DIAMETER

  • LENGTH

  • 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.

Note:

If you define this advanced option in an .ini file, use double percent signs %% around the options. For example, %%BOLT_NUMBER%%*D%%HOLE.DIAMETER%%.

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.

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