Creating a bar

Hi. 

I would like to ask what is the significance of the line that intersects a bar in Robot? The intersecting line only appears when I clicked the add bars toolbar. 

Please refer to the image below for your reference.

Thank you and regards,

Cyril

@Rafal.Gaweda. Why does the location of this symbol changes (sometimes in the 1st quarter of the bar and sometimes in the last quarter of the bar ) whenever you modeled your bar in a different orientation (e.g., up to down and down to up or left to right and right to left). 

What does the change of location of the symbol indicates? Is there any significant effect when the location of the symbol changes?

Hi @cyril.denofra

 

It is set to be at 25% of a bar length from it origin node. It is set in this location so that it doesn't overlap with other bar attribute when displayed e.g. bar number.
