Use this advanced option to control which editor opens when you select to edit a linked .txt or .rtf file in a text editor. Set this advanced option to TRUE to always use the associated external application for viewing and editing the .txt and .rtf files. Set it to FALSE to use the Tekla Structures built-in text editor. FALSE is the default value.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database. Reopen the model to activate the new value.
