Quantity in singlepartmark

[maebingerEX3UQ]

AdvanceSteel has a really annoying feature. If a label points to more than one part, AS enters the number of parts. For me this is unnecessary and above all annoying. Is there a way to make this entry smaller? That would be a help.

try editing the label max distance to zero

This method is a good interim solution. I have seen a drawing in which the number was shown very small. Something like in the screenshot. This means that somewhere in the system there is a way to influence the display.

In principle, the user should always be able to influence such settings, as only he knows what he needs for a correct display.

Out of the box, the basic settings in Advance Steel are always unusable anyway, so you have to adjust them.

I think what you are looking for is found in the label content definition:

you are using a syntax like this: Quantity + 'x' + SinglePartNumber
You can change the text height to smaller for Quantity and Token, to achieve something similar to what you saw.
I am not sure if you make the changes in the existing drawing to be update like intended, this works when done in template, before creating the drawings.
This works also when the 2 AS elements are overlapped.

The problem is that Advance Steel inserts the number of pieces automatically without me defining it in the mark. That's why I have no influence on it.
