Problem Description
While labeling in 2D in Drawing Model/Sheet model, we use variables as Presets to represent the rebar in various keywords, like Bar Marks, Dia of bar, No of Bars etc. Previously we had variables starting with $bn which generally represent the bar mark. But this variable is not working anymore.
============================================================================
Original Issue
2D Rebar - Bar Mark annotations shows as zero always.
I get proper rebar marks in the BBS but 2D drawing annotation doesn't pick up any data.
Im using this presets but none works.
$bn - bar mark number including range variation e.g., 26(a-g)
$bnb - Bar mark number for first bar in a varying range e.g., 26a
$bne - Bar mark number for last bar in a varying range e.g., 26g
$bnx - Bar mark number excluding range variation e.g., 26
============================================================================
Steps to resolve
The presets.sys file has complete list of variables to use as labels in 2D Rebar Annotation. This file is located under Workspaces in which user is doing modeling work.
Drive:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\<yourworkspace>\Standards\ProStructures\Rebar\Detailing\Metric/Imperial
In that we can find list of variables. But $bn presets are discontinued in ProStructures version.
Please find the correct presets below,
# $kl - If positioned, $kl is the bar mark. If not positioned, $kl is total length of bar
# $klb - Bar mark number for first bar in a varying range e.g., 26a. If not positioned, $kl is total length of bar
# $kle - Bar mark number for last bar in a varying range e.g., 26g. If not positioned, $kl is total length of bar
# $ql - Scheduled total bar length
- $ql~a, $ql~b, $ql~c ... etc. retrieves the scheduled length of the scheduled dimension given by the letter that appears after the ~
# $qlb - Scheduled total length of first bar in a varying bar range - ~a, ~b etc. can be added for specific bar dimensions
# $qle - Scheduled total length of last bar in a varying bar range - ~a, ~b etc. can be added for specific bar dimensions.
