Overview
The DDOT variable in the display.sys file allows to set up the size of the diameter of the center circle in range bar details while detailing concrete and rebar models in ProStructures.
Method
1) Open the display.sys file that is located at C:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\GreatBritain\Standards\ProStructures\Rebar\Detailing\Metric
NOTE – The above mentioned path is the default location and may defer if you have installed the application at another folder path.
2) Search for the DDOT variable (which would be located at line # 485) and check for its value.
3) Now, edit and set up the DDOT value as per your standards / requirement. Then save and close the display.sys file.
4) Now start the ProStructures application (restart if the application was open while making the above changes).
5) Place a new Callout and generate a drawing model for detailing the 2D drawing that gets created.
6) The center circle in range bar details now appears in accordance to the value you have set up in the previously mentioned steps.
In this way, by setting up the value of the DDOT variable in the Display.sys file, one can control the size of the center circle in range bar details while modifying the 2D rebars in the drawing model.
