Rules determine how legs and dimensions relate to each other. They are defined as a series of equations that must be entered in a specific syntax, or format.

Example

The rules above indicate that:

  • H is the vertical dimension of the C leg.
  • K is the horizontal dimension of the C leg.

CAUTION!
The rules display as a reference to help you understand the geometry and calculations used for each shape. However, you should only add, delete, or modify equations with assistance from aSa staff. Otherwise, dimensions such as slopes and hooks will not insert properly when you use the shape in Order Entry or detailing modules.
