General enhancements

A number of general enhancements have been made for Tedds 2023. (Note that some features documented below were included in previous updates to Tedds 2022.)

Engineering Library

Fixed the Section properties calculator to prevent "incorrect argument" errors from occurring when using the calculation with the European locale setting.

Tedds Application

Enhanced the Project Manager to automatically synchronise the selected document in the project tree whenever an open document which belongs to the project is activated.

Enhanced to include a new option: when a project is saved to a single PDF file a page break can be included between each document.

Tekla Tedds for Word

Updated the default Tedds for Word document template (Calc 1) to use header labels which are consistent with the Tedds Application’s document templates. This ensures that when documents are sent from the Tedds Application to Tedds for Word the document is presented consistently.

Enhanced the DataSetOpen, DataLibraryOpen and DataItemOpen dialogs so that the LookIn directory and the Window Size settings are automatically remembered. The item lists used in those dialogs have also been optimised to automatically resize the columns when shown in the details view.

Writing Custom Calculations

Enhanced calculation user interfaces so that the footer property of a ListView control is more aesthetically pleasing.

Enhanced calculation user interfaces, now the information icon associated with an input control remains enabled when the input control is disabled.

Added a new drawing function DrawLabelStringOffset which allows the text part of a label to be offset from the labels line. When an offset is applied the line is extended from the start coordinate to the offset position.

Enhanced DListSetItem so that the currently selected page and datalist file can be selected in a single operation.

Software Licensing

Added a warning when starting Tekla Tedds using a subscription license to inform you in case your license is due to expire within the next 30 days.

Security

Improved security by updating the embedded web browser from Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) to WebView2 from Microsoft which ensures that security updates are managed independently by Microsoft Windows update.

Tekla Tedds API

Enhanced the Tedds application API to include the following new features:

  • Added BIM model ID property to the project object so that a specific IFC model can be associated with the connected BIM project.

  • Added a BIM object IDs property to the document object so that a document can be associated with one or more objects in the IFC model which is associated with the connected BIM project.

  • Added an event for when a document is exported.

  • Added an event for when the BIM project information associated with the Tedds project is modified.
