Objects with polygon cuts are now copied correctly with Radial array tool regardless of how the points to input the polygon cuts are picked.

In Joist to Beam and Col. (164), you can now again define the angle position numberidentifier that is assigned to all similar parts, assemblies, cast units, or reinforcement

Position number consists of a prefix, separator, and running number. The prefix is part of the position number, identifying a numbering series. The running number is part of the position number, and is the assigned number in the numbering series, based on the start number. The separator is an optional character, such as a slash, that separates the prefix and the running number.

In Tekla Structures, the position numbers assigned in the numbering are shown in marks and templates, for example.

In the US, the term piece mark or ship mark is used to refer to a position number.

, material and name on the Stabilizer tab.

In Cast-in plate(1) part that represents a flat structure

(1) In some contexts, for example in analysis, the term plate object may be used to refer to plates.

(2) plate that represents a steel structure

(2) Plate is mainly used as a connection piece or as a floor plate.

(1069), the horizontal edge distance is now correctly applied when using an angle profile to connect the beam and the cast plate.

Deleting objects copied using Linear array tool now also deletes the cuts and fittings that were in the copied objects.

Objects with polygon cuts can now be copied again using Radial array tool.

Linear array tool and Radial array tool now correctly copy the user-defined attributes (UDAs) of the original, copied object.

Export Unitechnik (79) contains the following improvements:

• The maximum number of exported elements or layers in the SLABDATE block is now limited to 99 according to the Unitechnik specification. If the limitation is exceeded, you will be notified by a console and log file message.

• When using template variables, the export now automatically​ checks the topmost content attribute files to get the unit of the template variable and converts it to the unit used in Unitechnik export.

• Bent meshes with limited rebar angles are now exported with correct origin points.

• Option to rotate pallet 90° if pallet width exceeded is now working correctly.

• Steel parts and items now have in the user-defined attributes dialog box a new tab Unitechnik Mountpart, where you can specify data which then overwrites the data entered in the Export Unitechnik (79) dialog box.

• You can now exclude mounting parts from the export using the new option Exclude from export on the Unitechnik Mountpart tab in the steel part and item user-defined properties dialog box.

• You can now use the value Text[Template]#Counter for the following options:
  - Name of order
  - Name of component
  - Drawing number
  - Project line 1-4 text
  - Slabplate that represents a concrete structure
  
  In Tekla Structures, a slab is created by picking three or more points.
  
  Slab may be part of a floor, for example.
  
  number
  - Info text 1 - 4 of slabdate
  - Info text 1 - 2 of mounting part

• TS configuration tab: 

  • You can now export CONTOUR  as bounding boxrectangular border with the smallest measure within which all the selected points that position the model objects lie
    
    In Tekla Structures two-dimensional bounding boxes are used in drawings and three-dimensional bounding boxes in models.
    
    . It is recommended to use this option with file structure set as: Single layer, 1 slabdate, n parts on the Main tab.

  • You can now prevent exporting cutouts with the new option Export CUTOUTs.

  • You can now merge cutouts using the new option Merge CUTOUTS. You can select to export a big cutout which is created by smaller cuts as separate cutouts. The options are:

1. Merged as one cutout

2. Unmerged, overlapping cutouts

3. Unmerged cutouts with no overlapping

• Reinforcement tab: The new option First bending angle allow setting the first bending angle of free-flection rodstock negative, as required by certain interfaces.

Earlier, grids exported from Tekla Structural Designer did not always appear in correct elevations when imported to Tekla Structures. This has now been fixed.

Associative notes were not always cloned when the cloning templatemaster drawing where an existing drawing is used to copy the drawing settings for a new drawing

The new drawing has the same drawing settings as the original drawing.

The user creates a cloning template of a drawing typically after extensive manual modifications have been made in the drawing, in order to achieve the same appearance and contents in new drawings.

In the master drawing catalog, it is possible to create single-part, assembly, and cast unit drawings using cloning templates. It is also possible to add new cloning templates to the master drawing catalog from the document manager.

was in another model. This has now been fixed.

Previously clicking Modify in the drawing viewview that includes selected model objects or an area in the model, that is represented in a drawing

A drawing view is a container for model and drawing objects.

A drawing can include several drawing views, which usually are two-dimensional views, plane views, to the model.

Examples of drawing views in Tekla Structures include main views, section views, single-part views, and 3D views.

properties dialog box without selecting anything from the options tree, or selecting mark options tree without changing the existing applied settings sometimes caused marks to change position. This has now been fixed.

The advanced optionssettings used to customize Tekla Structures for specific companies, standards, users, or user groups

In Tekla Structures, advanced options are settings that are used, for example, in a specific project or geographical area, or by a specific company.

In Tekla Structures, advanced options usually begin with the initials XS and are followed by the name of the function, for example XS_BACKGROUND_COLOR.

XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_M and XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_W  now work in accordance to other plot file name advanced options and Tekla User Assistanceonline help and self-support service for Tekla Structures

Tekla User Assistance includes instructions, support articles, and instructional videos, and it offers a possibility for feedback.

Tekla User Assistance is one of the Tekla online services.

instructions. They used to be MODEL specific, now they are by default MODEL(ROLE) specific and you can change the type to SYSTEM(ROLE).

Drawing views now remember which properties were used and show the name of the properties file in the view properties dialog box, if such file matches the attributes in the dialog box.

In a shared modelmodel used for collaboration over the Tekla Model Sharing service

With a shared model, each user works with their own model and the changes are shared through Tekla Model Sharing. A shared model requires the use of a single-user model. The same model cannot be a shared model and a multi-user model.

, the drawing status is now correctly updated in a user's local model when reading in.

The Logical weld property now works in reports. Previously, the result in a report was always empty. 

Previously, saving a large model got very slow if the model had been created with Save as and it was again saved with Save as. This has now been fixed.

Extensions (.tsep) that were correctly signed during a certificate's validity period are now installed even when the certificate has expired. Extensions signed when the certificate has expired are regarded as having invalid signatures and are not installed.

Line load magnitude is now visualized correctly in the model.

Copying and modifying the number of objects copied with an array tool by using another array tool does not make Tekla Structures to crash anymore.

Inch mark is now supported correctly in the custom component editortool that is used for modifying component that is created by a custom component, and for creating dependencies between component objects and other model objects

. Previously, when adding labels, for example, an inch mark 36'-0", an error would occur when the .inp file was loaded the next time.
