Problem Description

How to show the User marks in 2D drawing of Rebar?

Background

In ProStructures Update 5, Manual marking is introduced which allow users to assign User Defined bar mark to rebars. This feature now makes user life easy to assign whatever marks they want to define.
With this feature implemented, user has now both the original as well as the user marks. All the user marks actually stored in the DGN as Item Types. And these user marks can be called in Drawing as well as in Reporting. This document will explain how one can populate the User marks in 2D rebar drawing.

Steps to resolve

All the user marks are stored as Item types for the particular Rebar. Lets take the following example:

  

In the above example the Original Bar marks are replaced by User Marks as marked in the left image. 

The image below is showing the 2D Drawing for the same where you can see the Original Bar mark (20MA2) of Main bar populated by preset $kl.

Now to populate the User mark (20MBM102) for the same the preset to be used as ${UserMark.Mark}

So the preset need to be used to get the User mark will be ${userMark.Mark}

If one would like to label the Bar ranges for manual Bar marks, then the preset should be ${UserMark.VaryMarkRange}
