Detect sharing changes and view sharing history in Tekla Model Sharing

To see how the model has been changing and who has shared their model changes, use the sharing change detection and sharing history to see what kind of changes the model includes.

Sharing change detection

After you have read in the model changes from the sharing service , you can check the changes included in the packets in more detail. A list of sharing changes is shown at the bottom of the screen. The changes are visualized with colors both in the changes list and in the model.

To Do this

Open the changes list

Do one of the following:
  • On the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Show read in changes icon.
  • Click File > Sharing > Show read in changes.
  • To automatically show the list after each read in, select the Show changes after read in option in File > Sharing > Sharing settings.

View changes in the list

Click the separate tabs to see the changes according to how they affect the model. The changes are divided to the following tabs: Physical objects , Other objects , Drawings , Options , Attribute definitions , Model folder files , and UDA changes.

The changes are visualized with colors in the list.

Deleted objects are listed in the changes list but they do not have any information available in the Name column.

The UDA changes tab includes user-defined attributes that have a definition included in the environment.db file. Reference objects are detected as changed if there are physical or material changes.

Tabs do not exist if there are no items on the tab. If the tab content becomes empty because of filtering, the tab is not shown.

View changes in the model

Select the Select objects in the model check box and a row in the list to highlight the changed objects in the model. The changes are visualized with colors in the model. Deleted objects are not visualized in the model.

  • Added objects = green
  • Modified objects = yellow
  • Conflicting objects = orange
  • Existing objects that have not been modified by another user = gray

View changes in drawings

You can list the different versions of the same drawing in conflict situations, show their snapshots, and change the current drawing version. You can also view a modified drawing and its snapshot.

When users modify the same drawing in their local version of the model and one user writes out, the Changes list will show a conflict in other users' local version of the model when they read in.

You can open the Drawing versions dialog box from the Changes list. Select the changed drawing, right-click and select Open versions to view the drawing versions and the changes made to the drawing.

In the Drawing versions dialog box, you can select a drawing version, right-click and open the selected version. You can save the drawing version and write out to make it the current version for all users.

Filter changes in the list

On each tab, you can filter the changes in every column. Click the filter iconand select how to filter the changes.

Edit the filter

Click the filter iconand select a filter from the filter list. The name of the selected filter is visible in the bottom left corner of the list.

If you right-click the filter icon, you can, for example, sort the columns.

To edit the filter, right-click the filter icon and select Filter editor. The Filter editor dialog box opens and you can create or edit the filter as needed.

Zoom to changed objects in the model

Select the Zoom to selected check box and a row in the list to zoom to the changed object in the model.

Search for specific changes

  • dock the list to the side pane or to the bottom of the screen

The list has a button,, in the side pane. If you drag the list to a second screen, click the button to return the list to the main screen.

Sharing history

After you have read in and written out model changes, you can check the sharing history of the model. The Sharing history dialog box shows all your read in and write out events, and the packets included in each event.
