Bracket Traces

A trace for an abutting bracket is calculated taking the notches at the corners of the bracket into consideration. The bracket may be on the current or an adjacent panel.

The GSD:s along this trace will be added in the same way as for stiffeners (see also the description for the parameter MARK_BRA_TRACE). On the bracket itself currently two GSD:s (one at each end) will be added along each bracket arm. This will be done independently of the number of GSD:s that have been added to the trace.

If the position of the trace on the part is such that any GSD on the trace lies outside the part, the marking of this trace is replaced with a solid line with end tags showing the position of the end GSD:s (cf. Figure 2:8 in Stiffener Traces).
