Adjust Tekla PowerFab spell-checking settings

Tekla PowerFab has a spell-checking tool that allows you to spellcheck the text that you write in input fields. Automatic spell-checking is enabled by default in Project Management for subject lines and body texts. You can also perform spell-checking manually in any input field in any Tekla PowerFab module.

Enable spell-checking

If your settings.ini file does not contain the spell-checking function, you need to edit the file to add it.

  1. Ensure that Tekla PowerFab is closed.
  2. Go to the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Tekla\Tekla EPM\Settings folder.
  3. Find and open the settings.ini file in a text editor.
  4. To find or add the section, write [SpellCheck].
    • [SpellCheck]
    • Enabled=1
    • AutoSpellCheckEnabled=1
    • Dictionary=en_US
  5. Save and close the settings.ini file.

Perform spell-checking

  1. In Tekla PowerFab, click the field whose text you want to spell-check.
  2. Press Ctrl+S on the keyboard.

    Tekla PowerFab spell-checks the text in the current field.

  3. If you need to add a new word to the dictionary, so that the spell-checking tool will recognize it in the future, right-click the word and select Add.

    New words are saved in the tekla-epm.dic file C:\Users\Public\Documents\Tekla\Tekla EPM\Settings\. Do not edit the tekla-epm.dic file manually.

Disable spell-checking

  1. Ensure that Tekla PowerFab is closed.
  2. Go to the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Tekla\Tekla EPM\Settings folder.
  3. Find and open the settings.ini file in a text editor.

Switch to another spell-checking dictionary

By default, Tekla PowerFab uses a spell-checking dictionary that matches the current system locale setting. However, you can force the use of another dictionary.

  1. Ensure that Tekla PowerFab is closed.
  2. Go to the ..\Program Files (x86)\Tekla\Tekla EPM folder.
  3. Find and open the settings.ini file in a text editor.
  4. In the [SpellCheck] section, set the Dictionary value to one of the following:

    • en_AU (English / Australia)

    • en_CA (English / Canada)

    • en_GB (English / United Kingdom)

    • en_US (English / United States)

    • es_ES (Spanish / Spain)

    • es_MX (Spanish / Mexico)

    • fr (French / France)

    • ru_RU (Russian)

  5. Save and close the settings.ini file.
