Initialization files (.ini files) define Tekla Structures start-up parameters and default settings.

Initialization files contain advanced options that are used for configuring Tekla Structures for different standards, and for your or your company’s style of working. Advanced options determine the appearance and the behavior of Tekla Structures, such as the language used, the behavior of part marks on drawings, and the location of your model folder.

Tekla Structures automatically creates the necessary initialization files during installation. The number of initialization files that it creates depends on how many Tekla Structures environments you have installed.
