After you click Bolts and welds from the left pane of the Steel tab, the parameter options are as shown.
Specify display parameters for the defined bolts and welds:
- Under Bolt display:
- Simplified - if this is selected, bolts will be displayed as a line fragment (segment)
- Exact - if this is selected, bolts will be displayed with all shape details
- Under Weld display:
- Simplified - line - if this is selected, welds will be displayed as a line fragment (segment)
- Full body - if this is selected, welds will be displayed with shape details displayed
- Under Mark:
- Show marks - use this to switch on/off the display of a weld mark. A mark shape also determines a weld type (see the drawing below which presents marks of several weld types).An extension line on which a weld mark is positioned is always perpendicular to the weld.
- Size - define the size of a weld mark
- Relative to the screen - if this is selected, the size is expressed as a percentage
- In absolute drawing units - if this is selected, the size is expressed in units used in AutoCAD®
