Question:
I defined company custom tab in ribbon, but it seems not to be read from firm folder. I defined the XS_FIRM folder in the Advanced options in my model.Answer:
The XS_FIRM definition in advanced options is made on model level and is too late for custom tab to be initialized, even if for many other functionalities that is totally OK. You need to define the XS_FIRM in ini file which is read before model opening. For example in user.ini, teklastructures.ini, project.ini or in company.ini.
