9. Include the necessary catalog files and subfolders from the model folder,
and click OK.
10. Remove manually all .db files (environment database, options databases)
from the model folder.
The *.bak, *.log and xs_user files are automatically removed from the
model folder.
The model template is saved into a location pointed by
XS_MODEL_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 7 Administrator's release notes: General settings
You now have a thumbnail image for your model template. The
Applications & components catalog should be in order and easy to use.

1. For further details on how to create and use pattern lines, see Create and
add pattern lines in drawings.
2. Create the needed pattern lines with Pattern line editor and save the
lines (.cpl files).
The Pattern line editor does not show the symbols, and so it might
be useful to have the Symbols dialog box open while selecting the
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 12 Administrator's release notes: General settings
Create thumbnail images of the patterns and add them to patterns.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 13 Administrator's release notes: General settings
3. Set suitable default settings for the pattern line
(standard.PatternLine.Attributes.xml) .
The settings are applied when you add a pattern line.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 14 Administrator's release notes: General settings
To enable this new feature for your customers you need to:
Make sure you either read the objects.inp from the Common
environment, or add the UDAs to your own objects.inp.
Save a standard setting file for the dialog box.
1. Add grid UDAs to objects.inp if the one in the Common environment is
not in use. See the objects.inp example at the bottom.
2. Open a GA drawing.
3. Open the Advanced grid labels dialog box by holding down Shift and
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 15 Administrator's release notes: General settings

The new grid labels can be found on the drawing editor ribbon, under
Drawing tab -> Grid labels . Hold down Shift and click the button to open
the properties dialog box.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 16 Administrator's release notes: General settings
If also the Z labels are defined for the grid, they are available for the vertical
custom grid labels as well.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 17 Administrator's release notes: General settings
Also, if the Grid label text user-defined attribute is set, it will be shown in the
custom grid labels.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 18 Administrator's release notes: General settings
For detailed instructions on how to define the custom grid labels, see
Customize drawing grid labels.

Do the following:
Create standard settings for the Print drawings dialog box.
Set the line thickness to follow your local standard (or what was used in the
old printing dialog box). Suggestion is to follow rotring pen weights.
Ensure that you select the empty line under the printers when you save the
"standard" file. This means that the xml settings file will have blank for the
printer. When you do this, the dialog will automatically select the user's
default printer when you open the dialog box.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 21 Administrator's release notes: General settings
Save the settings as "standard".
Move the file PdfPrintOptions.xml to your system folder.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 22 Administrator's release notes: General settings
It is now possible to save and load different printing settings.

2. Create proper filters for reference objects.
3. Create proper detailed object level settings for reference objects using
reference object settings and filters.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 27 Administrator's release notes: General settings
4. Save the GA drawing settings.
5. Repeat for all GA drawing settings.
6. If associative notes do not have any elements for reference objects, add
them in Associative note properties dialog box and save the standard
file.
This ensures that an associative note is always added when the command
is used if there are no elements in the note, the note will not be visible.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 28 Administrator's release notes: General settings
The following advanced options have been removed as obsolete:
XS_REFERENCE_MODELS_HIDE_PART_LINES
XS_REFERENCE_MODELS_HIDE_PART_LINES
XS_REFERENCE_MODEL_HIDDEN_LINE_TYPE
XS_REFERENCE_MODEL_LINES_HIDDEN_BY_ITSELF
XS_REFERENCE_MODEL_LINES_HIDDEN_BY_OTHER_REFERENCE_MODELS
XS_REFERENCE_MODEL_LINES_HIDDEN_BY_PARTS
XS_SHOW_REFERENCE_MODEL_HIDDEN_LINES
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 29 Administrator's release notes: General settings
If there are references to missing plug-ins, go to the referred
ComponentCatalog.xml and remove the references manually:
Test thoroughly that these changes do not create any further errors, or change
the structure of your component catalog. Check at least the Ungrouped and
Legacy catalog groups.
As in the example above, in Tekla Structures 2016i there may be errors for:
CatalogPluginComponentItem?CopyModelDirectoryPlugin
CatalogPluginComponentItem?SaveAsModelTemplatePlugin
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 30 Administrator's release notes: General settings
XS_CUSTOM_COMPONENT_DECIMALS
Use this advanced option to adjust the number of decimals used in custom
component parameters of type Text. Other parameter types follow the
normal accuracy settings. The default value is 3.
XS_USE_EXISTING_SINGLE_PART_DRAWINGS_SCALE
Use this advanced option to use the scale of the existing single-part
drawings included in assembly drawings. Set both this advanced option
and the
XS_USE_EXISTING_SINGLE_PART_DRAWINGS_IN_ASSEMBLY_DRAWINGS
advanced option to TRUE. If set to FALSE, the assembly drawing scale, or
the value of the XS_SINGLE_SCALE advanced option is used instead.
XS_OBJECTLOCK_DEFAULT
Use this advanced option to set the lock state of created objects. When you
start to share the model in Tekla Model Sharing, the default lock status is set for
all assemblies and cast units that do not yet have any lock status.
The available values are:
NO - Objects are not locked (default value).
ORGANIZATION - Objects are locked for other organizations.
XS_DSTV_LIST_NET_WEIGHT
Set this option to TRUE to use the net weight. Net weight was used in the
DSTV list in previous Tekla Structures versions. The default value is FALSE.
Custom components
The custom component editor now has the dz1 and dz2 options for chamfers.
New option in the Pop-mark settings dialog box
The pop-marking options for NC export have a new option for considering
zero-diameter holes as pop-marks.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 31 Administrator's release notes: General settings
Changes in Organizer and Template Editor
Organizer
You can now report properties related to Location Breakdown Structure
categories directly from parts and objects without using the assembly
hierarchy. For example, you can now use
LOCATION_BREAKDOWN_STRUCTURE.LBS_FLOOR for any object type instead of
ASSEMBLY.LOCATION_BREAKDOWN_STRUCTURE.LBS.FLOOR.
There is no need to change the property templates immediately. When you
create new templates or update old templates, use the new reporting
functionality.
Template Editor
It is possible to output zero as an empty string. This removes the 0 values
effectively.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 32 Administrator's release notes: General settings
It is also possible to have rules for images. This means that different images
can be shown depending on the rule. For example, it is possible to have a
thumbnail of the used profile type next to each part.
To add a rule, do the following:
1. Add a picture element to a row.
2. Open the Picture properties dialog box and edit the rule.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 33 Administrator's release notes: General settings
if GetValue("PROFILE_TYPE")=="I" then "I-profile.jpg"
else "U-profile.jpg"
endif
Removed options
Obsolete options
Hidden line options have been removed from the Options menu. They were
only used for the wireframe view.
Obsolete advanced options
The following advanced options have been removed. The hidden line settings
in drawings are now handled in the reference model properties:
XS_REFERENCE_MODELS_HIDE_PART_LINES
XS_REFERENCE_MODEL_HIDDEN_LINE_TYPE
XS_REFERENCE_MODEL_LINES_HIDDEN_BY_ITSELF
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 34 Administrator's release notes: General settings
XS_REFERENCE_MODEL_LINES_HIDDEN_BY_OTHER_REFERENCE_MODELS
XS_REFERENCE_MODEL_LINES_HIDDEN_BY_PARTS
XS_SHOW_REFERENCE_MODEL_HIDDEN_LINES
After you have activated the command, select the two parts that will form the
bent plate. The bent plate gets its properties from the first part that you
selected when you created the bent plate, so the applied values are not used
at all.
In the image below, the three objects on the left have been used to create the
bent plate shown on the right. The creation command was run twice, and both
times the thicker rectangular plate was selected first, so that the whole bent
plate got the thickness from that rectangular plate.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 35 Administrator's release notes: Steel settings
The area between the plates gets some extra curved material that combines
the plates. The radius of the curved section is as large as possible, but you can
manually adjust it by first selecting the bent plate, then selecting the line at the
center of the bend (as shown below), and then dragging the small arrow.
Bent plate always uses the position settings At depth = Middle and end point
offsets = 0.
It may be useful to create some commonly used attribute files that can be
manually applied to the bent plates.
The following lines need to be added to the objects.inp file if the file in the
Common environment is not used:
/* Bent plate attributes */
/

Other changes
Base plate (1004)
You can now use custom components as anchor rods in Base plate (1004).
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 37 Administrator's release notes: Steel settings
This improves the usability of the anchor rod shapes that are available in Tekla
Warehouse.

NOTE You need to run the command after adding content to
a pour to show the content in a report.
Limitations
Pour units do not affect drawings except through layout templates. Update
drawing templates to list the pour content that belongs to a pour.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 40 Administrator's release notes: Concrete settings
Administrator's release notes: Integration of Automatic
splicing tool to Mesh bars and Mesh bars by area
Integrating the Automatic splicing tool to Mesh bars and Mesh bars by area
allows greater control for rebar splicing. You can now browse and select
different predefined manufacturer sets from a list.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 41 Administrator's release notes: Concrete settings
Maximum bar lengths can be defined for each bar size.
Different lap lengths can also be defined for the same grade and size
combinations that have different manufacturer sets.
By using Mesh bars by area this will serve as a workaround if you want to
easily define different lap lengths for lower and upper surfaces.
If the grade and size combination does not exist in the selected manufacturer
set, unspecified stock and lap length values are used.
Limitations
If Maximum length of bars is set to 0, the settings defined in the Specific
stock and lap length section will not work and splices will not be created. It is
important that you set a reasonable value in your environment's standard file.
Use this setting to define the rebar lap length by multiplying the rebar nominal
diameter. For example, a 10 mm bar with multiplier 50 gives a lap length of
500 mm.
Coefficient of lap length
Use this setting to define the minimum splitting distance by multiplying the
current lap length. For example, a lap length of 400 mm with multiplier 2.5
gives a minimum splitting distance of 1000 mm. This can be a really useful
option together with the pre-defined manufacturer sets.

Administrator's release notes: Rebar coupler and anchor
tools
Rebar coupler and end anchor related UDAs have been removed from the
Common environment objects.inp and added to a separate file
objects_couplers.inp in all environments. This ensures that when
modifying the coupler settings, there will be only one tab page for couplers.
This change was made to enable environment-specific, company-specific, and
project-specific UDA modification.
You can now modify the TreadLeft/TreadRight and ToleranceLeft/
ToleranceRight UDAs, and the whole coupler and end anchor UDA tabs in
the RebarCoupler.Udas.dat file.
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 43 Administrator's release notes: Concrete settings
The following files have been changed:
Tekla Structures administrator's release notes 44 Administrator's release notes: Concrete settings
RebarCoupler.Udas to also include Threaded length and Extra fab
length
rebar_with_couplers.tpl
RebarShapeManager.CustomProperties.dat
Example files AnchorExample.anchors.csv and
CouplerExample.couplers.csv have been updated to be more instructive
and logical. These files can be found from the \system folder in the Common
environment.
Note the following:
If your environment does not read the \inp folder in the Common
environment, remove the coupler and end anchor related UDAs from your
environment's objects.inp files, if those exist.
If your environment does not read the \system folder in the Common
environment, add the files listed above to your environment's \system
folder.
