Intelligent Dimensioning for Bolt Groups

[acbsdesign]

Hello,

It will be a great time saver if we had intelligent dimensioning for holes and shear studs part of same bolt pattern.

Below is an example of a stringer having holes at stair treads, part of a macro.

If we click on the first point on the left at RD symbol, click on the first hole and rest holes are dimensioned automatically, a dimension chain is created automatically.

Same will work for shear studs pattern, we know how time consuming this can be.

And in general, if we start dimensioning 3 hole groups for example having 6 holes each-by clicking on the first hole of a pattern, rest to be added to the dimension chain automatically, and we will move to the next hole pattern, and after that to the next-with 4-5 clicks we will have 18 holes dimensioned.

This will be a great time saver, I hope it won't be hard to implement.

Have a great day.
