Bracket Names

New brackets can be created in any number. Each bracket is identified by a name that must be unique.

The following rules are valid for bracket names:

• They should be short, preferably not longer than 4 characters (however, the hard limit is 8 characters).

• The name must start in a character and should preferably end in a character as well. This is because the total bracket designation will be extended with the lengths of the bracket arms (in cm) and if the bracket name ends in a digit the limit between the name and the "arm length" is hard to identify.

• Traditionally the names of almost all brackets with a folded flange has ended in a K. It is a matter of taste if this rules should be kept for new brackets but there might be some value in doing so. To get the brackets shown in the dialogs for picking a corresponding view, named as the bracket, must exist in the drawing _ _SBH_BKT_MENU_ _. Running the bracket setup in Inithull will generate the dialogs for picking brackets based on this drawing. Further details on this can be found in Customizing Dialogs.
