Add a Linear Multi-Rebar Annotation

Use multi-rebar annotations to tag each bar in a rebar set with a detailed annotation for fabrication and construction.

The dimensions for linear multi-rebar annotations are aligned to the horizontal or vertical axis of the view.

To use multi-rebar annotations, there must be at least 2 rebar references. Like linear dimensions, linear multi-rebar annotations can only be placed on point references.

  1. Click Annotate tabTag panel Multi-Rebar (Linear Multi-Rebar Annotation).

    In the Type Selector, a Structural Rebar Multi-Rebar Annotations type is enabled.

  2. (Optional) You can create a new multi-rebar annotation type or modify an existing type. In the Properties palette, select Edit Type. Then select Duplicate, name the new type, make your changes and select OK.
  3. Click the rebar sets that you want to tag.

    You can tag a single rebar set or multiple rebar sets with a single annotation. You can only place multi-rebar annotations on rebar when the view direction is parallel to the plane of the rebar.

  4. Click in the drawing area to position the dimension line.
  5. Click to position the tag leader.
  6. Click to position the tag head. To group matching tag heads, use the multi-rebar annotation type properties.
  7. (Optional) Adjust the annotation as needed.
