Add a rule to the profile catalog

  1. On the File menu, click Catalogs > Profile catalog to open the Modify Profile Catalog dialog box.
  2. Right-click any existing rule and select Add Rule.

    The Profile manager rules dialog box appears.

  3. Define the rule properties.
    1. Enter a rule name in the Rule name box.
    2. Select the Profile type to which the rule is applied.
    3. Enter the Name filter string that defines the new rule.

      By default, the wildcard symbol (*) is entered, meaning “all entries”.

      For example, to group all catalog entries with names beginning with A, enter A* in the Name filter string box, or to group all catalog entries with names containing 100, enter *100*. Tekla Structures groups the catalog entries that meet your criteria under the new rule.

  4. Click OK to close the Profile manager rules dialog box.
  5. Click OK to close the Modify Profile Catalog dialog box.
  6. Click OK in the Save confirmation dialog box to save the changes.
    Tip:

    You can add a next level rule that creates a subgroup under an existing rule. Use the Add Next Level Rule command to add the next level rule.
