XS_CLONING_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY

XS_​CLONING_​TEMPLATE_​DIRECTORY

Category in Advanced options dialog: File locations

Enter a path to the parent folder that contains all the models that have the cloning templates that you want to show in the Master drawing catalog. The folder for a cloning template is shown in the Master drawing catalog dialog, when you hover over the template. You can have several paths separated by semicolons. Usually the path is defined in each environment in the env_<environment>.ini or in the role_<role>.ini.

Note that you need to copy the whole Tekla Structures model to the parent folder.

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.

Example

C:\ProgramData\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\<environment>\Cast-in-Place\cloning_templates_1;C:\ProgramData\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\<environment>\Cast-in-Place\cloning_templates_2

where cloning_templates_1 and cloning_templates_2 are parent folders.

When you have defined the above parent folders, all cloning templates in the following Tekla Structures models are shown, for example:

C:\ProgramData\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\<environment>\Cast-in-Place\cloning_templates_1\tsmodel1

C:\ProgramData\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\<environment>\Cast-in-Place\cloning_templates_1\tsmodel2

C:\ProgramData\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\<environment>\Cast-in-Place\cloning_templates_2\tsmodel1

C:\ProgramData\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\<environment>\Cast-in-Place\cloning_templates_2\tsmodel2

Note: There is another advanced option with a similar name, XS_DRAWING_TEMPLATES_LIBRARY. This advanced option defines the model folder that the Clone command in Document manager uses by default to get the drawing templates when you have selected to use drawing templates in another model.
