2024 SP2: Important improvements and fixes
The latest Tekla Structures service pack and updated environment installers are available in Tekla Downloads.
Top fix: Part was sometimes not visible in the model
Previously, part geometry was sometimes missing when a part was created and the DirectX rendering was in use. This issue has now been fixed.

Top fix: Opening drawing view properties is significantly faster
The drawing View Properties dialog is now cached when you open it for the first time so that it opens much faster every time you open it again in the current Tekla Structures session.

Top fix: Multinumbering and multidrawings work again!
When you added an assembly drawing to a multidrawing, Document manager did not show and update the single-part and assembly marks correctly.
If you performed renumbering after creating the multidrawing, the assembly drawings became obsolete, showing a quantity of zero, and lost the connection to the model objects. Assembly numbers were correct in the model, but the drawing link was broken, and using the repair numbering command did not fix it. This issue has now been fixed and multinumbering and multidrawings work again correctly.

Drawing marks for multidrawings correct in Document manager
When you used multinumbering and created multidrawings from existing drawings, showing a correct drawing mark required re-opening the Document manager. This issue has now been fixed and the Document manager shows correct marks when the multidrawings have been created.

New button for creating a new color palette file
The color palette has a new button, Create a new color palette file, for creating a new, empty color palette. The new button is located at the bottom of the color palette dialog, and it is active in color editing mode.
- The Create a new color palette file button removes all custom colors from the color list and clears the color palette file name, so that you can start creating the new palette from scratch.
- To prevent accidental emptying of the color list, the button is not active when there are unsaved changes in the color palette dialog.

Color palette state is now shared
The state of the color palette, meaning the color palette view mode (grid or list) and the collapsed or expanded state of the Standard and Custom color categories, is now shared between all the locations where you can open the color palette and between color editing and selecting modes. The state of the color palette is also shared between Tekla Structures sessions, automatically showing the state that the color palette was in when you restart Tekla Structures.
