Answer:
To set automatic dimensioning from the middle of the flange for “I” Profile, you need to edit the dim_planes_table.txt file in this folder:

C:\ProgramData\TeklaStructures\<version>\environments\<environment>\profile
                                                  OR
C:\TeklaStructures\<version>\environments\<environment>\profile

Open the file and edit the middle of the column to TRUE* in the ProfType 1 row line, save and restart Tekla Structures. However, when you generate the new drawing, it will create the hole dimension from the middle of the flange.
