Default Backtie Symbology Position

Defines whether the 'Backtie position' option, located in the 'Settings' tab of the 'Edit Structure' window, will be set to 'Actual' or 'Schematic' by default.

Top tip: You can override this setting on a per-structure basis by following these instructions.

Options:

Actual = The 2D symbology will be drawn to match real-world position of the backtie, as defined by the 'Distance' or co-ordinate and 'Bearing' values chosen in the 'Edit Backtie' dialog.

Schematic = Regardless of the real-world position of the backtie, the backtie symbology will remain perpendicular to the structure symbol, with the line length a defined distance. The default schematic position is defined by this setting.

Default Setting: 'Schematic'

Changing properties: If you want to change the option of this property, your Project Settings Administrator must request a project settings change.
