XS_DISPLAY_DIMENSIONS_WHEN_CREATING_OBJECTS
Category in Advanced options dialog: Model views
Use this advanced option to define whether dimensions and dimension lines are displayed when model objects are created.
When set to TRUE (default), Tekla Structures displays the dimensions and dimension lines.
Dimensions and dimension lines are displayed when you create a new model object and pick the start point and the intermediate or end points for the object.
If you set this advanced option to FALSE, the dimensions are not displayed.
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.
