This has now been fixed. Modifying from right to left now works correctly. Previously, incorrect attributes were loaded for slab bars causing Tekla Structures to stop working. This happened, for example, when applying after. This has now been fixed. now fits the top position of anchors according to the part even when the anchors are placed at a void. Previously, placement to the middle of assembly in the cross section direction did not work correctly. and, some cuts were previously not created correctly.

Now this has changed. is fully synchronized the first time you open it after setting XS_ENABLE_POUR_MANAGEMENT to TRUE. When you open in the model later, you can choose whether to synchronize or not. Organizer At opening of, if the category rules have references to categories that do not exist anymore, now shows a message about this and removes these references. Previously, an error occurred and did not open. Task Manager When copying tasks without objects in, the value in the column in the table is now correctly shown as 0,0. Task Manager Tasks exported from are now correctly imported to Microsoft Project 2013 and later versions. Pop-marks for plates with holes were created incorrectly in NC files. This has now been fixed. Pop-marks for plates with holes were created incorrectly in NC files. This has now been fixed.
Now you can also refresh locked reference models with the button. To do this, set the new advanced option XS_REFRESH_ALSO_LOCKED_REFERENCE_MODELS to TRUE in. This system-specific option is by default set to FALSE. Some IFC strip footings were sometimes positioned incorrectly after conversion. IFC strip footings are now converted to objects so that their handle points are positioned in the middle of the profile instead of on the top. Some IFC models created with Graitec Advanced would cause an error when you tried to convert to objects if they contained unnamed IFC Presentation Layer Assignments. This has now been fixed. IFC models could not be converted to Tekla Structures model objects, if they contained IFC circles defined by a single point. This has now been fixed. When you exported a plate with attached parts and bolt groups, the first bolt group was offset incorrectly. This has now been fixed. Pad footings were incorrectly converted as upside-down oriented beams in IFC object conversion. This has now been fixed. When you selected the option as the, some pop-marks were missing. This has now been fixed. The properties pane in conversion change management now shows object coordinates correctly after reconversion. Previously, pop-marks were created based on the assembly main and secondary parts. Now the pop-marks are created based on the weld primary and secondary part. NC file export, circular part cuts are written as holes if the diameter of the cut is less than the value defined for the new setting in the dialog box. Templates and reports Bent plate dimensions in the dialog box and templates in drawings were showing three dimensional measures instead of unfolding dimensions. This has now been fixed. Templates and reports The template attribute NUMBER_VISIBLE now works correctly and shows the number of rebars in the visible view. Templates and reports You can now set the site bolts to supporting member in reports and KSS by setting the new user-specific advanced option XS_REPORT_BOLTS_WITH_SUPPORTING_MEMBER to TRUE in. The default value is FALSE. Reference models in drawings were not always cut by the view boundary box. This has now been fixed. Curved lines are no longer duplicated when you use the command. Dimensions in the drawing views moved to GA drawings are now updated correctly. Keyboard shortcuts (end a command) and (undo the latest pick) are now working when you are creating a polygon or a polyline in a drawing. Surface treatment was not shown correctly in drawing section views. This has now been fixed. The button now works in the dialog box. The label text offset in custom grid labels is now working correctly in dian environment.
Hidden line removal for reference models in drawings was not always working if the reference model was not visible on the modeling side. This has now been fixed. Modifying properties on drawing level in single part drawings is now working properly. When you tried to export a drawing into a DWG file, a warning message appeared. This has now been fixed. Template tables in the drawing layout are now drawn correctly when an open drawing is recreated. Template tables are now updated when you drag a view boundary in an open drawing. Sometimes reference models in a GA drawing where not listed in the. This has now been fixed. The text "Snapshot" and the drawing layouts are no longer displayed in the snapshot overlays on the model. Previously some letters in snapshots overlays on model where not displayed correctly, now they are displayed correctly. You can now pan and zoom in the drawing snapshot window. To open a snapshot, open the, select a drawing and click the button. Section edges in drawings were always drawn using solid linetype instead of the one selected in the part properties. This has now been fixed. When you now double-click a link to another drawing in an open drawing, Tekla Structures asks you to save the drawing and then opens the linked drawing. A new option has been added in the dialog box to control the unit of the wire length (L= ) text in the annotation text. The attribute NUMBER_IN_DRAWING shows the number of all rebars in a drawing that have the same position number. The neighbor part rebars are ignored. Only use NUMBER_IN_DRAWING in the main part marks in a drawing and not in the marks of the visible neighbor reinforcement. When the advanced option XS_ROTATE_CUT_VIEWS is set to BY_SYMBOL_MAIN_VIEW or you create drawings using column as the main part, drawing update was removing all dimensions from section views. cloning, the section views did not get any dimensions. This has now been fixed. An application error occurred when you created a drawing of a curved beam. This has now been fixed. some models, rebars created by using the RebarMeshViewCreator application were missing from drawings. This has now been fixed. Drawing views now have middle handles, which allows easier manipulation of the visible model area. Previously, when XS_DRAWING_SNAPSHOT_CREATION was set to FALSE, snapshot files were still created in some cases. This has now been fixed, and snapshot files are no longer created when the value FALSE is used. Dimension tags were not shown in rebar dimensions that were automatically created in a cast unit drawing. This has now been fixed.
Saving a drawing in multi-user mode no longer closes all property dialog boxes. Now lines in all drawing model objects, annotations, dimensions, and sketch objects have four new gray colors available. The different gray shades are true colors in the way that they will keep their color regardless of the drawing color mode, all the way to printing. the drawing view properties dialog box, modifications to the currently open panel were lost whenever a new panel was selected for the first time from the options tree. This has now been fixed. The selection switch toolbar in drawings now has a new button that opens the dialog box. Previously, RTF files in drawings did not show superscript or subscript, now they do. Vertical tags are now placed correctly for curved dimensions when you select the option : One of the following messages is now displayed when a drawing cannot be loaded: "Cannot load selected drawing. Could not find drawing file. Check Tekla User Assistance for more information." "Cannot load selected drawing. compatible drawing file. Check Tekla User Assistance for more information." You can now define an automatic hatch separately for precast parts and cast-in-place parts in the cast_unit.htc file. The options for Cast unit type are Precast and CIP. To be able to do this, you need to select the appropriate cast unit type in the concrete part properties.
Now you can also add middle tags to curved dimensions.for example, you can add dual dimensions in middle tags. Reinforcement was not shown right away in assembly drawings, but only after modifying the view. This has now been fixed. When you use view-level dimensioning and dimension type, the dimension properties for angle dimensions are now also applied to automatically created radius dimensions. The setting in the dialog box has a new option where the tag follows the curve: With the new command you can easily delete part marks for parts that you have selected. This command comes in very handy when you do not want to show marks for neighbor parts or neighbor reinforcement, for example. You can delete all other mark types, except weld marks. To delete marks, activate the selection switch, select the parts using a proper selection filter, right-click and select. When you rotated a drawing view that contained detail marks, everything else in the view was rotated, but the detail marks stayed in their original position. This has now been fixed. Tekla Model Sharing Previously, in Tekla Model Sharing, Tekla Structures did not show deleted drawings in the sharing changes list. Now Tekla Structures stores the mark, name and type of a deleted drawing in the sharing history, and also shows this information in the changes list. Tekla Model Sharing Previously, when using a custom part in a shared model, the custom part objects were not correctly updated in the local versions of the model after read in when the custom part was updated in the original model in which it was created. This has now been fixed. Tekla Model Sharing Tekla Model Sharing, task dependency changes are now reported in the sharing changes list.
Reinforcement When you select the reinforcing bar usage, main bar/tie or stirrup, in the dialog box, the hook properties are now updated correctly in the dialog box also in the case only the length value is different. Previously, when the radius check box was not selected in the curved beam properties, modifying other part properties made the curved beams straight. This has now been fixed. The tile pattern is now always shown after changing the surface type. Previously, you had to use to end the command. This has now been fixed. The command ends once you have used it. Previously, Tekla Structures stopped working when you changed the material of bent plates from steel to concrete. This has now been fixed. Sometimes, modifying a view filter caused a crash if template attributes were added in the filter. This has now been fixed. When the geometry of a bent plate was modified, or if the bent plate was exploded, the part coordinate system could be incorrect. This has now been fixed. Previously, a polygon plate that was created by exploding a bent plate could be erroneously rotated. This has now been fixed. After you have run the pour unit calculation, you can now report pour object properties using template attributes. For example, to find out to which pour a rebar belongs, use the POUR_OBJECT.POUR_NUMBER template attribute to report the pour number. When objects have been made transparent using the + command, clicking the button redraws the objects transparently, as it should. When the + command is used on a CIP part/ pour, clicking the button draws the related pours/cip parts only. When objects have been completely hidden from the view using the + command, clicking the button does not anymore re-draw the hidden objects in the view. Selecting the Educational configuration when starting Tekla Structures and creating a new model caused a Tekla Model Sharing initialization failure and the system showed an error message (Sharing initialization failed). This has now been fixed. The net length and gross length shown when inquiring a bent plate are now the lengths of the unfolded plate. The commands,, and are now available on the pop-up menu also for assemblies and cast units. Core Snapping to grid intersection is now possible even through opaque surfaces. Tools and Components Previously, the component using the now been fixed. catalog crashed when trying to select a dialog box under certain circumstances. This has Tools and Components The custom component editor now closes before you save the model when opening another model.
