Category in Advanced options dialog box: Marking - bolts

Use this advanced option to define the contents of the Size element in marks for tapped bolt holes (workshop). The default value is %BOLT_NUMBER%*\216%HOLE.DIAMETER.1% TAP M%BOLT_DIAMETER%.

This advanced option is only used when there is a tapped hole.

You can use any combination of text and the following options as the value for this advanced option. You can use the options in any order, and make calculations.

• BOLT_NUMBER

• DIAMETER

• LENGTH

• HOLE.DIAMETER

• LONG_HOLE_X

• LONG_HOLE_Y

• LONGHOLE_MIN (the shorter of the slotted hole dimensions)

• LONGHOLE_MAX (the longer of the slotted hole dimensions)

• BOLT_STANDARD

• BOLT_MATERIAL

• BOLT_ASSEMBLY_TYPE

• BOLT_COUNTERSUNK

• BOLT_SHORT_NAME

• BOLT_FULL_NAME

Enclose each option in % characters.

Note that if you are defining this advanced option in an .ini file, use double percent signs around the options. For example, %%BOLT_NUMBER%%*D%%HOLE.DIAMETER%%.

To use special characters, enter a backslash (\) followed by an ASCII number.

With length-type options, but not in calculations, you can specify the number of decimals. For example, HOLE.DIAMETER.2 shows (tapped) hole diameters with two decimals.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
