XS_FIRM
Category in Advanced options dialog box: 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.
You can also use a Trimble Connect project as the project or the firm folder. For more information, see Use a Trimble Connect folder as the project or the firm folder.
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.
