XS_​DRAW_​BOLT_​HIDDEN_​LINES_​IN_​SINGLE_​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 single part drawings.

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.

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.

Example of AS_PART, part Hidden lines on:

Example of AS_PART, part Hidden lines off:

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