Name Rule Examples
- Overview
- Recognised assembly Names set Prefix and Class
- Welded part Names should not be Main Parts
- Name determines valid Profile
- Vertical part Names require correct Rotation
Vertical part Name requires correct Rotation
Problem
Certain part names represent vertical members such as columns or droppers.
These parts must maintain the correct orientation relative to project north.
Incorrect rotation may cause drawing symbols to appear in the wrong location.
Strategy
Use the NAME column to identify vertical members and apply a Direct rotation check.
Rule Structure
Subject:
NAME
Match: Exact match that returns a recognised vertical part, COLUMN, DROPPER, etc.
Target:
Direct: RotationByProjectNorth
Conditions: (None)
Minimal Tree
Subject: NAME
Match: COLUMN
Target: ROTATION (Top, Front, Back, Below, depending on Project North Rotation)
Example Results
| NAME | ROTATION | Result |
|---|---|---|
| COLUMN | FRONT | Okay |
| DROPPER | BACK | Error |
| COLUMN | TOP | Okay |
| COLUMN | BELOW | Error |
Explanation
Tekla uses several settings to determine assembly mark direction.
If vertical members are rotated incorrectly relative to project north, drawing output becomes inconsistent.
This rule ensures that these elements maintain the correct orientation.
Notes
This rule uses the Direct audit type rather than a value comparison.
Also note that XS_ORIENTATION_MARK_DIRECTION must be correctly configured also.
