Administrator's release notes: Improved naming conventions and properties for objects imported from Tekla Structural Designer
You can now use a mapping file to define how object properties are mapped when you import objects from Tekla Structural Designer into Tekla Structures. You can also use the mapping file to translate the names of objects imported from Tekla Structural Designer from English into your local language.
You can use the mapping file to define how these properties are mapped when you import objects from Tekla Structural Designer:
-
Name
-
Part Number Prefix
-
Part Number Start Number
-
Assembly Number Prefix
-
Assembly Number Start Number
-
Part Group
These properties are only set for newly created objects. When previously created objects are updated, existing properties are not updated.
Create a mapping file for imports from Tekla Structural Designer
Using this improvement is optional, but if you import objects from Tekla Structural Designer, consider creating a mapping file to improve the import process.
