You can, if you so choose, manually lock additional settings on the member edit window, and your changes will be retained, through multiple processes, so long as you do not change to a different connection then switch back to the original user defined connection.

Seated Tee
W tee size and length
Length ( tee length ): The length that you want the W tee section to be cut to. This is the distance (parallel with the work line of the beam) from the edge of the W tee that welds to the supporting member to the opposite edge of the W tee (see example ).
Material ( not depicted ): The section size of the W tee material to be used for the beam seat. For example, WT9x65. The section size you enter here must exist in the local shape file and must be a tee, or validation will not accept your entry. To enter a W tee section size, you can type in the section size that you want, or you can press the "file cabinet" browse button (
) and double-click any section that is on the list of available W tees in the local shape file . If this field is unlocked (
Bolts in seat
Diameter ( not depicted ): The bolt diameter. You can either type in any diameter (inches or mm), or you can select a bolt diameter from the combo box (
). The diameters that are listed in the combo box come from Home > Project Settings > Job > Bolt Settings > the " Available bolts " list. The bolt diameter entered here, together with the " Hole type " selected below, set the diameter of holes the bolts go into.
Hole type ( not depicted ): Standard round or Short slot or Oversized or Long slot or User slot #1 or User slot #2 . The hole type selected here, together with the " Bolt diameter " entered above, set the diameter of holes for bolts to the supported beam flange.
Rows: The number of bolt rows ( 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 ) for bolting the tee seat to the beam. ' 0 ' rows results in no holes. If ' 2 ' or ' 3 ' rows are entered, the " Bolt spacing " that is set for the bolt diameter in Connection Detailing/Fabricator Options is applied as the row spacing. ' 1 ' row is shown in the example .
Horizontal to hole ( horz to hole ): The distance (parallel with the work line of the beam) from the end of the beam to the first row of holes in the tee (see example ).
Gage: The distance (center to center) between the two columns of holes in the tee seat (see example ).
Seat ( weld ): The weld size for shop welding the tee to the supporting member (see example ). Setting the " Seat " weld to ' 0 ' (zero) removes the weld.
