Drawing Properties

Use to specify a fixed size for the grid label frames. This is useful, for example, when you want all the grid label frames to be the same size no matter whether there are one or two digits in the frame. If you set this advanced option to zero (0), the width of the grid label frame depends on the width of the grid label. Enter the desired value in millimeters.

A fixed width of 18 is suggested for 5 characters (XX.XX) when the text height is 3/16. Change the fixed width to 14 for 4 characters (XX.X), 12 for 3 characters (X.X), and to 10 for 2 characters (XX). If you use a different text height than 3/16, fixed width values need to be adjusted accordingly. This advanced option overrides the automatic frame width calculation for grid labels.

If you do not set this advanced option, Tekla Structures adjusts the grid label frames to text within each frame.

Example of grid label frames when the frame size is not fixed:

This advanced option is role specific. When the type SYSTEM(ROLE) is in use, the default value is used. When the type MODEL(ROLE) or DRAWING(ROLE) is in use, you can change the value, which is then the same for all users in the current model.
