Add part marks manually in drawings
In an open drawing, you can add part marks for all building objects, such as parts, bolts,surface treatment and connections, or for the selected ones only. For each view, Tekla Structures creates the marks according to the selected properties.
Use orthogonal snapping in marks and associative notes with leader lines. For example, you can use it for placing your marks and notes in a more consistent way in exact locations. When you start dragging a mark or note from a leader line end handle, and you have orthogonal snapping on, the leader line end handle locks to the closes orthogonal point in the drawing (0, 45, 90, 135, 180 degrees). To activate orthogonal snapping, press O.
When you create a mark manually, and the
content in the properties is not defined for the object type you have selected
in the drawing, the result depends on the setting of the advanced option XS_SHOW_EMPTY_MARKS. If this advanced option is set to FALSE
, the mark properties dialog box is displayed and
you can add the mark text. If this advanced option is set to TRUE
, Tekla Structures creates a mark with a
text element set to "Content not defined", and you can then double-click the
mark and modify the content in the properties dialog box.
