XS_DRAW_BOLT_HIDDEN_LINES
Category in Advanced options dialog box: 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. The default values are shown here:
-
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
Possible values are:
-
AS_PART
: uses part’s hidden line visibility settings. -
TRUE
: always shows hidden bolts. -
FALSE
: does not show hidden bolts.
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.
Example
The following examples show how these advanced options can be used together with drawing property settings.
