XS_PROJECT
Category in Advanced options dialog box: File locations
Note:
This advanced option is only meant for administrators.
Set the advanced options XS_PROJECT and XS_FIRM, along with XS_SYSTEM, to point to the
folders Tekla Structures searches for properties files. Tekla Structures always saves properties in the current
<model>\attributes folder. You can then copy or move them to
the XS_FIRM or the
XS_PROJECT folders
if the same settings are needed in other models. You can also create user-defined
sub-folders under the XS_FIRM and the XS_PROJECT folders, and copy or move property files from the
<model>\attributes folder to these sub-folders.
You can also use a Trimble Connect project as the project or the firm folder. For more information, see Use a Trimble Connect folder as the project or the firm folder.
This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
Warning:
Changing an advanced option value in
.ini files located outside the model folder does not affect the existing models. You can only update advanced options in the
Advanced Options dialog or in the
options.ini file located in model folder; not from an
options.ini file located in folders defined for the advanced options
XS_FIRM or
XS_PROJECT. The
.ini files are read also when you open an existing model, but only new advanced options that do not exist in
options_model.db or
options_drawings.db are inserted, for example, such options that are not yet in the
Advanced Options dialog but have been added in the software.
