Model history in multi-user mode

Tekla Structures collects model history on the actions that have taken place in the multi-user model by different users.

Model history shows when the model has been changed, how the model has changed, who has made the changes, and the model revision comments.

  1. On the File menu, click Settings > Advanced options.
  2. Go to the Speed and Accuracy tab.
  3. Set XS_​COLLECT_​MODEL_​HISTORY to TRUE.
  4. Set XS_​CLEAR_​MODEL_​HISTORY to FALSE.
  5. Optional: Go to the Multi-user tab.

    Set XS_​SAVE_​WITH_​COMMENT to TRUE.

    This enables the saving of model revision comments.

Save model revision comments in multi-user mode

You can save model revision comments when working with multi-user models. This means that all objects which have been changed during the last save interval include the revision information in them. You can use this information in filtering and reports. You can also use it to examine which users have modified the objects.

  • The Owner is the user, who has added the object into the model.

  • History shows when the model has been changed, how the model has changed, who has made the changes, and the model revision comments.

Before you can save model revision comments, check the following:

  1. When you have set the advanced options mentioned above to TRUE , Tekla Structures displays the Model revision comments dialog box when you are saving the model. Enter the desired revision comment and code in the Model revision comment and Model revision code boxes.
  2. Click OK.

Tekla Structures applies the values of this dialog box to parts that were changed after the last save. When you inquire objects, you can see the model revision information in the Inquire object dialog box. You can use this information also for selection and view filtering.
