XS_​USE_​COLOR_​DRAWINGS

Category in Advanced options dialog: Drawing views

Use this advanced option to change the default color mode in drawings when Tekla Structures is started.

  • If you set this advanced option to FALSE or leave the value out, drawings are black and white.
  • To have grayscale drawings, set it to GRAY.
  • To use colors in drawings, set it to any other value, for example, COLOR, TRUE, or 1. TRUE is the default value.

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.
