Analysis View
|
For shape properties, an additional tab for the
static view is available. If this option is not required, you can deactivate it
here generally.
|
Display Measurement Unit dialog
|
You are asked at the beginning of a new drawing in
which unit system you want to work (metrical or British). Otherwise, the
current setting will be adopted.
As the consequent use of the same unit system
within a drawing is indispensable for the correct display of shapes, the
modification of the system variable
MEASUREMENT that is responsible for this
can cause unwanted results.
This option grants that the once selected unit
system is kept and a corresponding hint will be displayed in case of (mostly
unwanted) modifications
|
Enable DSTV Naming
|
The shape and bolt designations in a parts list are
named according to the latest DSTV standard.
|
Remove redundant modifications
|
Drill holes e.g. which lie outside of the shape
after a length modification has been performed, are deleted automatically.
|
Remove redundant Logical Links
|
Logical links, which haven’t any meaning any more,
are deleted when parts are deleted. During normal operation, this option should
be turned on.
|
Remove references at compress
|
When the drawing is cleaned with the
key-in
compressed, in order to reduce the
drawing size, unused shape references can be deleted after confirmation.
|
Check
DGN during loading
|
Each time the drawing is opened, it is verified with
regard to invalid group entries. In some cases, unexpectedly big drawings could
be created which is avoided using this option.
|
Recalculate Parts when needed
|
When set, recalculates parts for any changes to the
part database.
|
Select group as whole
|
This option permits selection of groups as a
whole.
|
Dashboard Welcome at Startup
|
The Bentley Structural Dashboard is opened when
ProStructures is started.
Tip: The
Dashboard can be opened at any time by selecting the
Launch Dashboard tool.
|
Convert Boolean
|
In case of Boolean volume operations, the solid,
which is responsible for the processing, will be parameterized.
Thus it is possibly to modify the dimensions of
the processing later, even if the solid responsible for the processing doesn’t
exist any more (in the case it was e.g. only an auxiliary object and has been
deleted again).
|
Ignore Modifications
|
Ignores modifications in the boolean body and
parameterized. Enabled when
Convert Boolean is set.
|
Check Maximum Shape Length
|
The shape lengths are automatically verified when a
shape is inserted.
|
Check hole edge distance
|
The admissible edge distances are automatically
verified if drill holes are inserted.
|
Ignore inner edges
|
Internal calculations are not carried out by
AutoCAD®
each time
a part is "touched ," but only if it is really necessary. This shortens the
processing time of some functions.
|
Assign description
level
|
Component parts are placed on the corresponding
layer indicated in the description file.
|
Execute Boolean First
|
When logical links are processed, the Boolean volume
operations within the parts are carried out before a cut is made. The display
of component parts can change by using this option.
|
Log DGN Input
|
When set, each DGN load process creates log file in
the current folder.
Note: Appears when
Expert Mode in the Dialog Settings is set to "Expert".
