Apart from manual input, you can save the definitions of thread bolts
in a data base (*.dbf) as well. This database has to be
indicated in your configuration file of
OpenBridge Modeler
. The entries then are
displayed there and are available for selection.

Offset ? Sets the distance from last insertion point to the end of
the shape.
-
Insertion
Rules ? Since in most cases the length of a shape does not coincide
with the settings, you can define the rules for distribution here.
-
End Dimensions ? The margin
dimensions are exactly adhered to and the internal distance is averaged.
-
Spacing ? The inner values are
adhered to and the margin dimensions are averaged.
-
Centre Spacing ? The inner values
are adhered to and the rest is evenly distributed at the front and at the back.
-
At Plate Holes ? This option is
especially meant for distribution of anchor bolts or similar things at base
plates. The parts are aligned at he existing drilling and fixed below a plate.
-
Pick from Plates ? Selects the
insertion points of the component parts within the plate. Position and height
are determined from the plate.
-
Hole
Dia. ? Sets the diameter of marking or nipple hole.
-
Slot
Length ? Sets the depth of marking or nipple hole.
