XS_DRAW_BOLT_HIDDEN_LINES
Category in Advanced options dialog: Drawing properties
Use the following advanced options to show or hide bolts that are hidden from view by other parts, in single part, assembly, and general arrangement 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 default values for each advanced option:
-
XS_DRAW_BOLT_HIDDEN_LINES_IN_SINGLE_DRAWINGS=AS_PART -
XS_DRAW_BOLT_HIDDEN_LINES_IN_ASSEMBLY_DRAWINGS=AS_PART -
XS_DRAW_BOLT_HIDDEN_LINES_IN_GA_DRAWINGS=FALSE
The description of values:
-
AS_PART: uses part’s hidden line visibility settings (Hidden lines on/off). -
TRUE: always shows hidden bolts. -
FALSE: does not show hidden bolts.
