XS_FIRM
Category
File Locations
Note:
This advanced option is system-specific and only meant for administrators.
Set the advanced options XS_PROJECT and XS_FIRM along with
XS_SYSTEM to
point to the folders Tekla Structures searches for property files. Tekla Structures always saves properties in the current
model\attributes folder. You can then copy or move them to
the XS_FIRM or the
XS_PROJECT
folder if the same settings are needed in other models. You can also create
user-defined sub-folders under the XS_FIRM and the
XS_PROJECT folders, and copy or move property files from the
model\attributes folder to these sub-folders.
For shared models, you can use a sub-folder in a Trimble Connect project as the firm folder. For more information, see Best practices in Tekla Model Sharing.
Note that you can define one path only, not a list of paths.
Warning:
Changing an advanced option value in
.ini files located outside the model folder does not affect the existing models. You can only update advanced options in the
Advanced Options dialog box or in the
options.ini file located in model folder; not from an
options.ini file located in folders defined for the advanced options
XS_FIRM or
XS_PROJECT. The
.ini files are read also when you open an existing model, but only new advanced options that do not exist in
options_model.db or
options_drawings.db are inserted, for example, such options that are not yet in the
Advanced Options dialog box but have been added in the software.
