Tekla Structures - Dimensioning Tips

[@carmentorquatoiv9844]

How about running dimensions with an ordinate?

[@sethruhan3417]

Be great if they had a dimension tool that realised that the straight lines are part of an arc segment, so you can do it with one click. Kinda like every other cad program. Sadly I found this out the hard way, when the beam was fabricated to the wrong radius

Can you show some part dimensioning on piping ? Please.

For assembly/single part drawings, it will have a "length(profile X cut length)" dimension for the main part, which will parametrically change depending on the handles. It seems like a template embedded into the program that I can't change. How do you recreate this dimension if it is accidentally deleted?

[@TrimbleTeklaDave]

The only way to get the original back is to choose the 'recreate all dimensions' from the Dimensioning tab. However as the name implies, it will create all of the original dims that you'll have to then delete. If you don't want to do that, you can manually edit a similar dimension by adding values in the Prefix or Postfix fields on the Mark tab of the dimension properties, such as the UDA "ASSEMBLY.MAINPART.PROFILE". Perhaps I'll make a quick tips and tricks video on this.

In modeling if dimension is 6000 mm than how can we view a suffix of "mm" while modeling...? In short i want to view units in model while modeling..?!
