Question:
Is there any way we can set the numbering so it always uses 4 digits, for example, a P1 plate would be P0001 or a M215 column would be M0215?
Answer:
Part, assembly, cast unit and rebar numbering formats can be controlled with the following advanced options:
XS_PART_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING
XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING
XS_CAST_UNIT_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING
XS_REBAR_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING
By entering .3 after the position number you will get three digits:
XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING=%%ASSEMBLY_PREFIX%%/%%ASSEMBLY_POS.3%%
After changing these settings, you need to restart Tekla Structures to get the changes visible.
Do not change these settings if you have already created drawings.
