Hi Udo,
Attached please find a screen shot of the most used drawings style by a structural detailer-Beam. Default AS dwg style is used.
Noted as 1: There is an unnecessary repetitive dimension (21'-11) - Shop does not need same dimension to be shown twice, even 3 times if we count the third dimension chain above. Please remove the repetitive dimension.
Noted as 2: Ordinate dimensions jump too far from the beam contour line, taking too much of a space, and also not being aesthetically aligned and closer to the beam. Please allow the ordinate dimensions from different dim. chains to be aligned by default, we will move them if necessary.
Noted as 3: This is very typical in Advance, and it is not per common sense rules: These two dimensions instead of being aligned, they are always offset one from another. Please allow these two independent dimensions to be aligned. As you can see, the ordinate dimensions for the holes in bottom flange are too far from the beam too.
Thank you and have a great day.
