XS_​KEYIN_​ABSOLUTE_​PREFIX

Category in Advanced options dialog: Modeling properties

This advanced option defines the character used in absolute snapping. Enter any allowed ASCII character. The default value is $.

If you have set Tekla Structures to use absolute snapping by default using the advanced option XS_KEYIN_DEFAULT_MODE, you do not need to use a snap character for absolute snapping.

This advanced option is user specific and the setting is saved in options.bin under the user folder, for example, in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\UserSettings. Restart Tekla Structures to activate the new value.
