Customize print file names (old printing)

By default, Tekla Structures uses the drawing names as print file names. You can customize these file names using an advanced option indicating the drawing type, and entering switches defining the format of the print file name as a value.

To customize the filenames:

On the File menu, click Settings > Advanced options and go to the Printing category.
Enter switches for the advanced options XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_A, XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_W, XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_G, XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_M, and XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_C

You can also combine several switches. The switches are not case sensitive.
Click OK.

Example

The example below results in the filename E_P1_PLATE_Revision=2.dxf:

XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_A=E_%NAME.%_%TITLE%%REV?_Revision=%%REV%.dxf
