XS_DRAW_BOLT_HIDDEN_LINES_IN_ASSEMBLY_DRAWINGS
Category in Advanced options dialog: Drawing properties
Use this advanced option to show or hide bolts that are hidden from view by other parts in assembly drawings.
The possible values are:
-
AS_PART: uses part’s hidden line visibility settings (Hidden lines on/off). -
TRUE: always shows hidden bolts. -
FALSE: does not show hidden bolts.
The default value is
AS_PART.
Note:
-
This advanced option only affects bolts with solid or exact solid representation. Bolts with symbol representation are always visible. Changing the advanced option does not affect existing drawings, but you need to recreate them.
-
Tekla Structures sets the way the bolt hidden lines are shown when the bolt is added to a drawing, usually when you create the drawing or a drawing view. The hidden lines setting of the bolts cannot be changed afterwards. One way to change the setting in an old drawing is to create a new drawing view using the desired bolt hidden lines settings.
This advanced option is role specific. When the type SYSTEM(ROLE) is in use, the default value is used. When the type MODEL(ROLE) or DRAWING(ROLE) is in use, you can change the value, which is then the same for all users in the current model.
