Profiles

Use this advanced option to define an additional character to separate dimensions in the name of parametric profiles. Tekla Structures always recognizes the standard separator characters X, *, -, and /. The default value is an asterisk (*).

For example, when you inquire a part with a sketched profile, the character specified by this advanced option is used as the separator.

Example

XS_PARAMETRIC_PROFILE_SEPARATOR=E

Acceptable profile names with this setting are:

1. PL500*800

2. PL500X800

3. PL500E800

Any combination of these is also accepted: ProfileName500*500-500*500E500 (the profile ProfileName should be defined).

Limitations

• Only one character is accepted as a value for this advanced option.

• You cannot use slash (/) in the US imperial environment.
