How can I access the old drawing export dialog?
Answer:
New drawing export option was introduced in Tekla Structures 2017i onwards.
We introduced new advanced option (ini file) XS_USE_OLD_DRAWING_EXPORT also from the same version.
Set this advanced option to TRUE to use old drawing export option.
You can add below line in your options.ini file in the model folder. (Ensure model is not open while modifying this file)
XS_USE_OLD_DRAWING_EXPORT = TRUE
