Top fix: Decimals shown for plate thickness in DSTV file header

In DSTV files, the profile name in the header now includes decimals for plate profiles. The XS_MAX_DECIMALS_IN_PROFILE_NAME advanced option is correctly used to define the number of decimals in the header. The plate thickness in imperial units is now correctly shown in metric units when converted.

Fixes

Defect number Development area Description
TSAC-8485 Concrete components

Concrete console (111): Sometimes, the reinforcement in the model was displayed after modifying the component although the reinforcement had been set to be invisible. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-8818 Concrete components

Seating with dowel (75), Two sided seating with dowel (76), Seating with dowel to flange (77), Two sided seating with dowel to flange (78), Concrete console (110): Previously, the tubes and anchors created by the component caused an error about an invalid polygon profile type. The property pane showed the profile as invalid even if the parts were displayed properly. This happened when the tubes and anchors were created as corbel parts. Now this issue has been fixed.

TSAC-6679 Steel components

Two sided clip angle (143): Previously, weld preparation was created incorrectly in some cases. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-7016 Steel components

Wall rails: When creating oversized bolt holes, only the necessary options are now enabled on the Bolts tab.

TSAC-7166 Steel components

Wall rails: Now, setting the Create assembly option to No affects the component parts that are not welded or are welded with site welds. No assembly is created. Setting welds to Workshop will create assemblies based on welds.

TSAC-7538 Steel components

LS Brace Col End Pl (24), TS Brace Col End Pl (25): Previously, the gusset was created with an incorrect shape in some cases when using one secondary part. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-8273 Steel components

Metsec Std anti-sag bay (23): Previously, there were duplicate wire restraints at the same location. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-8348 Steel components

Column with stiffeners (186): Previously, the bolt edge distance was not correct if the secondary part was cut to be beveled. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-8625 Steel components

Bolted gusset (11): Previously, when using the component on both sides of one secondary part, welds were created with random directions. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-8747 Steel components

End plate (144): Previously, fitting plates were not placed correctly in some cases. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-8797 Steel components

Shear plate simple (35): Previously, there was a gap between the shear tab and the secondary part in some cases. This issue has now been fixed.
 

TSAC-8844 Steel components

Bolted gusset (11): Previously, when using AutoDefaults, some welds were created with an incorrect setting. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-8869 Steel components

Wraparound gusset cross (60): Previously, weld #1 was placed incorrectly in some cases. This issue has now been fixed.

TTSD-63343 Import, export, interoperability

Export drawings in 2D DWG, DXF, or DGN format: When you export drawings with rotated based points and you have set the XS_DWG_EXPORT_3D_MODEL COORDINATES advanced option to TRUE, the export now works correctly.

TSAC-8358 Drawings

Rebar group dimensioning: Now it is possible to dimension the inclined bars in the rebar sets.

TSAC-8622 Drawings

Custom grid labels: The grid labels created with the Grid labels command in drawings no longer disappear.

TSAC-8873 Drawings

Drawing 2D Library: Details from older Tekla Structures versions now get recognized properly and no longer cause scaling issues.

TTSD-63436 Drawings

There was an issue in the drawing property pane that caused dimension settings to be saved incorrectly, resulting in offset dimensions. This issue has now been fixed, and the dimension properties are now saved correctly, ensuring a correct dimension placement in drawings.

TTSD-64134 Drawings

There was an issue with the NUMBER_IN_DRAWING attribute in rebar marks that occurred when there was a mixture of rebar sets and rebar groups with the same position number. This issue has now been fixed.

TTSD-65880 Drawings

Document manager: Selecting and showing only drawings containing parts currently selected in the model is now faster.

TTSD-66996 Drawings

Mark color in drawings: The default font color (Dark Green) is now applied to new mark elements when the mark has multiple colors.

TTSD-67060 Drawings

Templates in marks: In the drawing property pane mark editor, when you double-click a template inside a mark, the template is now automatically selected in the list of templates in the Mark content - template dialog. Previously, the current template was not selected in the list.

TTSD-67333 Drawings

When loading a property file in the drawing property pane when creating a new drawing object, the properties that had no value in the file used to disappear from the property pane. This issue has now been fixed and the properties no longer disappear.

TSAC-7015 System and options

Wall rails: Previously, when using the Equal or Maximum spacing types for brackets, an additional bracket that overlapped with the end bracket was created. This issue has now been fixed.

TTSD-66549 Tekla Model Sharing

Tekla Model Sharing: Exception in Data Sharing Blob Storage on Download Progress has now been fixed.

TTSD-65094 Reinforcement

The Assembly > Add to assembly command on the context menu no longer accepts reinforcement objects to be added to a cast unit or steel assembly. Reinforcement objects can only be added to a rebar assembly.

To add reinforcement objects to a cast unit or steel assembly, attach them to a part that belongs to the cast unit or steel assembly.

TTSD-63643 Modeling

In DirectX rendered model views, precast concrete objects are no longer visualized with a white highlight that makes them appear shiny.

TTSD-65565 Modeling

Previously, clip planes also cut the grid labels. This has now been fixed, and the grid labels are not cut.

TTSD-65718 Modeling

Previously, if you defined a temporary snap reference point before specifying a split point for the Split command, the following commands did not work because Tekla Structures remained waiting for input. This has now been fixed, and the Interrupt command clears the Define temporary snap reference point state and Tekla Structures does not have to be restarted.

TTSD-67386 Modeling

Bolts: Previously, when XS_DRAW_BOLTS_3D_IN_BOLT_LAYER was set to TRUE, bolts that had no bolt head diameter specified were created invisible. This made it difficult to spot the error. Now such bolts are shown in red indicating that there is an error in bolt definition.

TTSD-67414 Modeling

Now, when you change the position of a nested custom component considerably, Tekla Structures continues to work normally. Previously, Tekla Structures might have stopped working.

SOLD-2571 Licensing

Previously, clicking the Switch user button on the License server selection screen did not sign the user out before starting Tekla Structures again. This has now been fixed.

SOLD-2581 Licensing


Previously, clicking the Switch user button on the Configuration selection screen did not sign the user out before starting Tekla Structures again. This has now been fixed.

TTSD-67437 Import, export, interoperability (steel)

DSTV/NC: Earlier, Tekla Structures might stop responding when exporting to DSTV through Open API. This issue has now been fixed.
