Administrator's release notes: Shape catalog improvements
It is possible to create groups for shapes in the new Shape catalog dialog box.
To do:
Create groups for your own shapes and translate the group names.
-
Create the group structure using the Shape catalog dialog box.
-
Move the wanted shapes to a new group.
-
Export the group structure only.
-
Save the group file directly to the correct folder in the environment or move it from the model folder. <File_Name>.ShapeCatalog.Groups.xml has to be in the same folder where the shapes are, typically ..\profil\Shapes.
-
Delete shape_catalog.settings.user.<username> and ShapeCatalog.Groups.User.<username>.xml from the model folder. These are personal settings.
-
Test by closing the Shape catalog dialog box and opening it again. If the group folder icons are black, the groups are coming from the environment.
-
Translations for the group names are in the ShapeCatalogDefinitions.ail file which should be found from
XS_MESSAGES_PATH
. -
Add
set XS_MESSAGES_PATH=%XS_MESSAGES_PATH%;%XSDATADIR%\environments\xxxxxx\messages
to env_xxx.ini. -
Add the ShapeCatalogDefinitions.ail file with the translations to the \messages folder.
-
Modify your group configuration xml file (<File_Name>.ShapeCatalog.Groups.xml) in the \Shapes folder.
Replace the group names with the corresponding
albl_...
keys used in the ShapeCatalogDefinitions.ail file. -
Open Tekla Structures again and test.
