Add revision marks in drawings

Revision marks are used for indicating a change in the Tekla Structures model or drawing, and the objects that have changed. Tekla Structures creates the revision mark using the properties in the Revision Mark Properties dialog box, and the information entered in the Revision Handling dialog box.

Before you add a revision mark, create a drawing revision in Document manager for a particular drawing so that the revision information is available for the revision mark.
  1. Open a drawing that has a revision created in Document manager.
  2. On the Annotations tab, click Revision mark and select one of the following commands:
    • Add revision mark
    • Pointing to left
    • Pointing to right
    • Along line, pointing to left
    • Along line, pointing to right

    The Revision Mark Properties dialog box is displayed.

  3. In the revision Mark list on the right, select another revision number first and then switch to the revision you are documenting. For example, if you are documenting revision 1 of the drawing, first switch to revision 2 in the list, and then back to 1. The revision data is updated in the dialog box when you do this.
  4. To place the revision mark exactly in the position you pick and keep it there, click the Place... button and select fixed in the Placing list.
  5. Go to the Appearance tab and set the text color, height, font and angle, the frame color, leader line and type, and the leader line arrow type and size.
  6. Click OK or Apply.
  7. Pick a point or points to place the mark.

    Tekla Structures creates the revision marks. You can also see the revisions in Document manager.

    To delete any unnecessary revision marks, select the marks and press Delete on the keyboard.
