Problem Description

In 2D Rebar drawing, while placing Tick and Tags from Bar End Detail, according to Text length, the Tag Leader not getting adjusted. Below is an example snap.

Steps to resolve

The Tag leader length can be adjusted by changing the variable (TAGL) value in display.sys file. 

1. Open the display.sys file in Notepad. This file can be found from specific Workspace and below is the path.

"Drive:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\<Workspace Name>\Standards\ProStructures\Rebar\Detailing\<Unit>



Also you can find the location from the Configuration variable. You can go to Configuration variable and search for REBAR_PROJDIR

2. After opening the file in Notepad, search for variable TAGL.  

Tag leader length can be increased using TAGL variable from display.sys.

 Using this variable it can be ensured that, Tag text should be over the line.

Default value of TAGL in display.sys

Change TAGL to 16 to get the text over the line.

3. Save the file. Close the ProStructures session and reopen and then when you open your 2D drawing, you will see the extended Tag leader line.

So in this way one can extend the Tag leader line to adjust Text length.
