Problem

How to set up a custom or frequently used rebar annotation label as a preset in the Bar Labels tool. 

Solution

In the Bar Label command, there are some presets available by default for rebar labelling. 



One can add custom or most frequently used labels as presets by adding the same as strings in the Presets.sys file located at - C:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\*Workspace Name*\Standards\ProStructures\Rebar\Detailing\Metric 





Then save the Presets.sys file, close and re-open the ProStructures application. You will then see the newly added label format as a preset in the Bar Label tool.
