XS_​DIMENSION_​PLATE_​SIDE_​MARK_​SYMBOL_​LEFT

Category in Advanced options dialog: Dimensioning - general

Use this advanced option to define the symbol that Tekla Structures uses in the left plate side marks. This symbol can be set for a dimension in the dimension properties. For this advanced option, Tekla Structures uses a symbol defined in the dimension_marks.sym symbol file usually located in the folder ..\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\common\symbols\.

The default value is 0.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database. Reopen the model to activate the new value.

Tip:

You can change the symbol used in the plate side mark by adding the desired symbol in the dimension_marks.sym file in Symbol Editor, and entering the numeric value of the new symbol as the value for this advanced option. Save the modified dimension_marks.sym symbol file in the current model folder. For more information about handling symbols in Tekla Structures drawings, see Add symbols in drawings.
