You can
use Tekla Structures advanced options in value field formulas.
- Insert
a value field into a template component.
-
Select the value field and double-click to open the Value Field
Properties dialog.
-
Click the Formula button to open the Formula
Contents dialog.
- In
the Formula field enter:
GetValue("XS_ADVANCED_OPTION_NAME")
- In
the Value Field Properties dialog, ensure
that you select the right Data type for the
value field in question: Number, Number
with decimals or Text.
- Click Check to
see if the formula syntax is correct. If you see an error message,
you can click OK to continue.
-
Click OK to close the Formula Contents dialog. If another
error message appears, you can ignore it.
The
reason for the error indicating unknown attributes could be due
to a spelling error (if you have typed it in) or because the advanced
options are not listed in the contentattributes_global.lst or contentattributes_userdefined.lst files.
That
being said, errors related to unknown attributes are rare.
