XS_​REBAR_​POSITION_​NUMBER_​FORMAT_​STRING

Category : Numbering

Use to define the contents of the reinforcing bar position numbers. You can also change or remove the separator and affect how many numbers are used to represent the reinforcing bar position number. If you change the value, you need to renumber the model.

Use the following options or a combination of them:

Option

Description

%PART_PREFIX% The prefix of the position number of the part that contains the reinforcing bar.
%PART_START_NUMBER% The start number of the position number of the part that contains the reinforcing bar.
%REBAR_PREFIX% The prefix of the position number of the reinforcing bar.
%REBAR_SERIAL_NUMBER% The position number without the prefix of the reinforcing bar.
%REBAR_POS% This is no longer used. Use %REBAR_SERIAL_NUMBER% instead.
%REBAR_SIZE% The size of the reinforcing bar with the possible size prefix.

For example, in the US environments the size prefix is #.

%REBAR_SIZE_NUMBER% The size of the reinforcing bar without the size prefix.
%CAST_UNIT_PREFIX% The prefix of the position number of the cast unit that contains the reinforcing bar.
%CAST_UNIT_START_NUMBER% The start number of the position number of the cast unit that contains the reinforcing bar.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.

Example

The Prefix in the Reinforcing Bar Properties dialog box is set to R , the Start No is set to 1 , and the Size is set to #6.

  • If you set the advanced option to %REBAR_SIZE%%REBAR_PREFIX%%REBAR_SERIAL_NUMBER.3% , the result for the first reinforcing bar will be #6R001.

  • If you set the advanced option to %REBAR_SIZE_NUMBER%%REBAR_PREFIX%%REBAR_SERIAL_NUMBER.3% and number the model, the result for the first reinforcing bar is 6R001.
