Overview

The ILBL variable in the display.sys file allows to set up the increment / decrement of the offset to adjust the position of delimiters, labels and annotations 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 ILBL variable (which would be located at line # 1015) and set the value to 0. This will then enable to set the delimiter location dynamically by moving the cursor on the go. 

3) Save and close this file. 

4) Now start the ProStructures application (restart if the application was open while making the above changes). 

5) Initiate the Bar Range Display tool and click on the adjust buttons to move the delimiters dynamically with move of your cursor. 

In this way, by setting up the value of the ILBL variable in the Display.sys file, one can control the delimiter adjustments while modifying the 2D rebars in the drawing model.
