Parameters disappearing from custom component dialog
Environment
Not environment-specific
Question:
Some of the parameters and a tab have disappeared from the custom component dialog after the last editing of the component. What could be the reason?
Answer:
In the custom component editor one of the labels in the Variables dialog box contains double quotation mark: ”TEST”
Double quotation marks mix up the inp file which handles the component; therefore Tekla Structures cannot read it properly, and the “Parameters 1” tab is not displayed at all.
Instead of double quotation mark, please use single one, like: ‘TEST’
