You can add surfacing symbols in cast unit drawings using the Add surfacing symbols macro.
Before you start, ensure that you have an object that has surface treatment in the model, and that you have created a cast unit drawing of that object. Also check in the cast unit drawing properties that the surface treatment is set to Visible.
- Open a drawing that has a part containing surface treatment.
- 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 Add surfacing symbols.
- In the Create surface symbols dialog box, select the texts that you want to include in the surface treatment symbol from the Available elements list and add the texts to the Elements in mark by clicking Add >.
- Select All Views to include the symbols in all drawing views, or Selected Views to include the symbols only in the views you select.
- Change the font settings, if necessary.
- If you selected Selected Views , select the views where you wish to have surface treatment symbols.
- Click Create.
Tekla Structures creates the surface treatment symbols according to the defined settings. You can change the symbol properties and the text afterwards in the Text Properties dialog box, which is opened when you double-click the symbol.
