You can exaggerate narrow dimensions to make them easier to read by using the macro Exaggerate selected dimensions. When exaggerated, a dimension that is narrower than the limit defined in the Options dialog box is enlarged using the defined scale. If there are many exaggerated dimensions, Tekla Structures arranges them automatically.
- Go to On the File menu , click Settings and go to the Drawing dimensions page.
- Set the Exaggeration limit and Exaggeration scaling.
Exaggeration scaling defines whether you are using Paper or Model as the exaggeration scaling method. If you select Paper , the exaggeration limit is multiplied by the view scale. If you select Model , and the scale is 1:10, all the dimensions smaller than 10 mm are exaggerated regardless of the drawing scale.
- Click OK to save the settings and close the Options dialog box.
- In an open drawing, click the dimension that you want to exaggerate.
- Click the Applications & components button in the side pane to open the Applications & components catalog.
- Click the arrow next to Applications to open the applications list.
- Double-click Exaggerate selected dimensions.
