Transfer customized information to a new Tekla Structures version
You can transfer customized information from a previous Tekla Structures version to the new Tekla Structures version.
-
If you have used
project and firm folders to store customized files in a model using a previous
Tekla Structures version, go to
File menu > Settings > Advanced Options and check that the
XS_FIRM
,XS_PROJECT
andXS_COMPANY_SETTINGS_DIRECTORY
advanced options point to the folders where the customized files are located. -
If you have not used project and firm folders to store customized files, you need to transfer the customized files manually to the new
Tekla Structures version to use the information.
Many types of files can be copied using a local or private online Tekla Warehouse collection. See Tekla Warehouse instructions for more information.
Check at least the following:
-
Files related to templates, reports and drawings
-
Catalog files: profile catalog, material catalog, bolt catalog, bolt assembly catalog, rebar shape catalog
-
Extensions
You need to re-install extensions for the new Tekla Structures version.
-
Saved model object properties
You can copy some information automatically to the new version using the Migration Wizard tool.
