2019 SP9: New features and improvements

Document manager improvements

New buttons in Document manager

The commands Lock, Unlock, Freeze, Freeze off, Mark drawing ready for issuing, Unmark drawing ready for issuing, Issue, and Unissue are now available for quick access as buttons at the top of the dialog box. You can hide this set of buttons by clicking the arrow next to the buttons. These commands are still available in the context menu as previously.

Show selected documents only mode improved

When you activated the Show selected documents only mode, Document manager did not show documents that were then created or modified. This has now been fixed so that new and changed documents are shown, as long as they match the active search and selected category criteria. These documents will then appear in the list as unselected to distinguish them from the already selected documents.

Improvement in issuing drawings

If you selected a set of drawings to be issued in the Document manager list, and one of the selected drawings has already been issued, then the Issue command was not available in the context menu. The same problem existed with unissuing if one of the selected drawings was not currently issued. This has now been fixed so that Issue and Unissue context menu commands are always visible regardless of the issuing state of the selected drawings.

TTSD-26855

Order of drawings in Print Drawings dialog box

The order of drawings in the Print Drawings dialog box now matches the order they appeared in Document manager at the point in time when the Print Drawings dialog box was opened.

TTSD-37084

Curved line accuracy increased in reference models

The accuracy of curved lines in reference models has been increased, and now there are four times more segments in curves. Earlier, curved lines sometimes turned into sets of straight lines after reference model insert.

The LargeTessellationPerCircle setting in the TrimBimPlugin.config configuration file used to be hard coded to 48, now 192 is the default value. If you have problems with the performance, you can decrease the value in TrimBimPlugin.config, which is located in the .\bin\referenceplugin\trimbim folder.

This setting affects all new inserted and updated reference models. For existing reference models, you need to delete the reference model and reinsert it to use the new value.

This improvement applies to all reference model formats.

TTSD-38604	Drawings	If a drawing had shortening along the Y axis, cloud change marks were also shortened. This does not happen anymore.
TTSD-38664	Drawings	When the location of one rebar was adjusted manually, some rebar marks, also from other rebars, were moving. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-39483	Drawings	Document manager: Document manager now ensures a default and stable sort order when identical values are encountered. Previously, several rows could have the same sort property values so their position in the document list could be different, depending on the document events and the order the documents were found.
TTSD-39500	Drawings	In some cases, an active drawing command was not correctly finished when you closed the drawing mode, causing crashes and other invalid behavior. This has now been fixed.

TTSD-38648, TTSD-39096, TTSD-39705, TTSD-37163, TTSD-39015	Modeling	Previously, the construction arc and construction circle creation commands did not follow the snapping depth (Plane/3D/Auto) and snapping plane type (View/Work). This raised several issues, in particular: When creating construction circles by center point and radius in the plan view, the circles were created at different elevations depending on the start point. When creating construction circles by three points on the plan views, the command snapped to points on objects, causing the resulting circles to be out of the plan views. These issues have now been fixed. The construction arc and circle commands now follow the snapping depth and snapping plane type.
TTSD-39125	Modeling	Previously, moving a part with edge chamfers and welds could cause Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-39480	Modeling	Previously, in some rare cases, Tekla Structures could crash when moving objects. This has now been fixed.

TTSD-40381	Modeling	Previously, the Zoom Selected command did not work in the model view if the drawing was open. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-40397	Modeling	Rebar sets: The hard-coded leg connection tolerance has been changed from 0.001 mm to 1 mm so that small inaccuracies in the leg faces do not prevent the legs from being connected to form one bar.
TTSD-38187	Installation	When installing a `.tsep` package that is not compatible with any of the Tekla Structures versions on your computer, Tekla Structures extension manager now displays a message about the situation and shows a list of the Tekla Structures versions that the extension is compatible with.
TTSD-40297	Core	Security fix for the parsing of the environment file profitab.inp
TTSD-40684	Core	When saving a model, Tekla Structures could in some cases crash when trying to open the message panel that is not in use anymore. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-3234	Tools and components	Previously, the pictures that you added in the custom component dialog editor were not shown in the custom component dialog box. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-3371	Tools and components	In Automatic Splicing Tool, a rebar group of two bars can now be correctly split and spliced and regrouped.
TSAC-4658	Tools and components	Layout manager: Previously, when you had the Layout manager Settings dialog box open, Layout manager was not automatically closed when you closed Tekla Structures. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-38589	Tools and components	When opening the custom component editor, Tekla Structures now asks whether to update the custom component to the current version of the component. The message is shown if Tekla Structures cannot find the custom component version. This can happen if the custom component has been created with an earlier Tekla Structures version.
TTSD-39163	Tools and components	Tekla Structures no longer crashes when trying to open a custom component dialog box in the model.
TTSD-39559	Tools and components	When working with surface treatment inside custom components, each time a custom component was edited or copied, the surface treatment definition points were inserted into the new component twice. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-9404	Tools and components	Previously, UDA equations could temporarily disappear in the Custom component browser. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-24536	Numbering	Previously, when numbering the model, clicking Cancel in the numbering report could reset any custom setting in some dialog boxes opened from the ribbon, for example, in dialog boxes under Numbering settings and Drawing properties. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-38106	Numbering	Reinforcing bar numbers are no longer shown as modified if you change the phase while the `XS_ENABLE_PHASE_OPTION_IN_NUMBERING` advanced option is set to `FALSE`.
TTSD-21871	User interface	Previously, Tekla Structures crashed when the main Tekla Structures window was minimized while another Tekla Structures dialog box was maximized. The crash happened when using multiple displays. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-31714	User interface	Previously, Tekla Structures crashed when you used the down arrow key to scroll down a list in the Ribbon editor or Keyboard shortcuts dialog box. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-39640	User interface	Tekla Structures no longer crashes when using the arrow keys to move up and down in the list of models. Previously, Tekla Structures could crash when there were so many models that all of them could not fit in the window at the same time.
TTSD-39838	User interface	Previously, in the traditional properties dialog box for a contour plate, the Modify button also applied the values. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-40106	User interface	You can now modify the rebar set rounding and step tapering properties in the custom component editor.
TTSD-40501	User interface	Previously, the hooks in a bent mesh did not keep the Custom hook setting when modifying the hooks in the property pane. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4461	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export EliPLAN file (68): Previously, when exporting an element with notches at the start and at the end of the element, the coordinates of embeds inside the element were sometimes exported incorrectly. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4693	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, the file name extension could not be used to populate a data field with the ''file name section" option. This has now been added, with the number 6 presenting this sixth file name section.
TSAC-4694	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik (79): The cast unit position and cast unit number used in the SLABDATE block are now read from the cast unit main part for both shells of the double wall.
TSAC-4709	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik (79): Tekla Structures now gives a warning message when a double wall shell is set to be turned, but it fails due to the shell being wider than the pallet width. Respectively, a warning is also given when the pallet width has not been specified.
TSAC-4740	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik (79): You can now specify how the SLABDATE maximum part length and width are exported by using the Maximum dimensions setting on the SLABDATE block data tab. The options are: Main part bounding box (default) - Checks the main part geometry, same as before Cast unit bounding box - Checks the entire cast unit geometry, including all protruding embeds Scanned contour - Checks all contour polygons Scanned all parts - Checks all contour and embed polygons
TSAC-4764	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik (79): The Export project coordinates setting on the SLABDATE block data tab has been improved, and two new options Yes, project base point and Yes, current base point have been added. The option Yes, project base point uses project base point, and the option Yes, current base point uses the base point currently selected in the model. Furthermore, the option Yes has been renamed to Yes, model origin.
TSAC-4810	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export ELiPLAN file (68): When irregular cutouts exceeding the contour consist of multiple polygonal cuts, the amount of the exported plotting lines is now optimized.
TSAC-4814	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	EliPLAN Export (68): Previously, revision marks were sometimes not exported for other objects than hollow core slabs. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4815	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik export (79): For double walls, a different modeling method and the cast unit hierarchy caused that not all panels were correctly handled in the export. This has now been fixed.
