Revision marks are used for indicating a change in the Tekla Structures model or drawing, and the objects that have changed. Tekla Structures creates the revision mark using the properties in the drawing revision mark properties, and the information entered in the Revision handling dialog.

1. Open a drawing that has a revision created in Document manager.
   
2. On the Annotations tab, click Revision mark and select one of the following commands:
   • Add revision mark
   • Pointing to left
   • Pointing to right
   • Along line, pointing to left
   • Along line, pointing to right

   The revision mark properties are displayed.

   

3. In the revision Number list, define the revision that you want to include in the mark.
   The revision information is updated in the property pane when you select a revision number from the list. If the revision information is not updated, select another revision number first and then switch to the revision you are documenting. For example, if you are documenting revision 1 of the drawing, first switch to revision 2 in the list, and then back to 1.
4. Add description, delivery details, and other necessary mark information.
5. Define the mark font color, font, font height, and font angle.
   You can use a standard color or a custom RGB color.
6. Define the frame type and color.
   You can use a standard color or a custom RGB color.
7. Define the leader line properties and the leader line arrow type, height, and length.
8. To place the revision mark exactly in the position you pick and keep it there, select Placing method > Fixed.
9. Define the areas where Tekla Structures searches for a location to place the mark.

   

10. Define the empty margin around the mark and the minimum distance of the mark from the object.

    

    Distance s is the empty margin that you want to leave around the mark.

    Distance d min is the minimum distance of the mark from the object.

11. Pick a point or points to place the mark.

    Tekla Structures creates the revision marks.

    To delete any unnecessary revision marks, select the marks and press Delete on the keyboard.

    To modify revision mark properties, double-click the revision mark in the drawing, change the properties, and click Modify.
