The article below outlines the process for overriding the default position of 2D backtie symbology.
Please note: If you would like to change the default position of backtie symbology in your project settings, your Project Settings Administrator must request a project settings change to this setting.
Step 1: Click the 'Edit' button in the 'Structures' section of the Lineardraft toolbar
This will open the 'Structure Selection' window.
Step 2: Click on the structure with your backtie attached and click 'Edit'
Alternatively, you can select your structure from the drop-down menu. Clicking 'Edit' will open the 'Edit Structure' window.
Step 3: Click on the 'Settings' tab
Step 4: Enable the 'Backtie position' toggle in the 'Structure symbols' section
Step 5: Click to choose from 'Schematic' or 'Actual' for your backtie symbol position
Schematic: The backtie symbol is placed perpendicular to the support symbol at a pre-defined distance set in your project settings.
Actual: The backtie symbol is placed to align with the backtie's defined position.
Step 6: Click 'Update Structure'
This will close the 'Edit Structure' window and make your changes, updating the backtie’s 2D symbology.
