This could be a couple of things. If this is a model from someone else and it only shows lines when you open it you might not have the profiles in your catalouge. If it is visable when you model it in but disapears when you reopen the view or redraw view it might be outside your view area, try setting your view depth or resetting you view area.

Hey, Not sure what you mean by "file filters"

if it's about the "DocumentManager_fort.xml" file inside the model folder? that get's automatically created the moment you edit your document manager inside of tekla. (it uses the defualt DocumentManager.xml file inside the your template folder or tekla enviroment folder up to the point you customize the Document manager at which point it creates a new one in the model folder with your user name attached to the end..)

If it's about seeing non tekla drawing files from within the Document Manager then you'll want to use file paths or file extensions in the search string

Unfortunately I do not know of any filter specific to phase in the document manager. The only way around this that I have found and what I currently do is assign specific number series to phases and then filter according to that. e.g. Phase 1 = 1000 number series si my filter read looks for marks with *.1*

At the top where it says, | File | Home | Windows | Select Windows, Here you can toggle the Properties Window on and off. If it is on you can dock/undock it by dragging to where you want it.

Hi, If you hover over a column title and right>click you should get a menu going down that you can hover over "Show column" and it will give a list of columns that you can show.

Apologies. No idea if Lua can do that. I stopped using it almost 2 years ago. I got a razer tartarus second hand for around $50 and have been using that as it is more comfortable and the software makes it very easy to use modifyer kies

not much, they both contain the exact same type of settings. it's just that the one in your user folder has to be called user.ini and the one in your model folder has to be called options.ini for tekla to properly read them, otherwise no differance

@@FrenchmanontheRooftop thaks for your response. By the way, I'm struggling with the proper setup of some folders/files/paths, etc., and seek some consultancy on this topic. Could you help me in this field? What is your rate per hour?

I am doing this for fun as I have time so feel free to ask anything Tekla related and I'll try my best to help, you can also send me an email if preferred. frenchmanontherooftop@gmail.com

Brilliant, Thanks.

Yes it will work, I also keep all my catalogues in my firm folder.

@@FrenchmanontheRooftop wow, that's fast. Thanks. Doing this which exactly advanced options must be changed to get it work properly? I mean I would have to populate some paths by ctrl+E to make Tekla know where to look for current catalogues. And how to make it default for any new model?

For your profiles catalogue you will need to set XS_PROFDB I usually make a Folder called "Profiles" under my firm folder and change the XS_PROFDB to something like C:\Tekla Structures\Company Settings\CompanyA\Profiles\" and then place my catalogue files in their. assdb.db (bolt assembly catalog) matdb.bin (material grade catalog) profdb.bin (profile catalog) profitab.inp (profile shapes) screwdb.db (bolt catalog)

@@FrenchmanontheRooftop Fantastic. Thanks a lot. Will it be saved and applied as default settings for every new model?

@@victorstrembitskiy7171 you will need to set up your user.ini file to point to the correct locations. Head over to your User settings folder and open the User.ini file with a text editor like notepad. "C:\Users\FORT\AppData\Local\Trimble\Tekla Structures\2021\UserSettings" You can check out my video on it. and I also have a sample of my settings in the description. ruclips.net/video/sTms7tIqCuE/видео.html

Hi, you cannot do that directly but you can definitely do it in a round about way, Their are some limitations to the colors you can use in drawings (see the colours available in the printer's 'line properties' tab) The main problem with the colours in drawings is each colour is assigned a line thickness and while you can change these you would have to carefully manage what colours you can and cannot use so the dims ect still end up printing with a lighter line then the parts.

Great request. This has been on my to do list for a long time and I just never seemed to get to it. I'll definitely move it up the list now.

@@FrenchmanontheRooftop Thank you..

No idea, I tried it on a couple of divices and it worked for me. Since you only need it to find the scan codes of each key you could try HIDmacro on another device as I find the scan codes are always the same.

Maybe for commands where you need to confirm your action like moving to the next drawing after editing. a ctrl+Pagedown for the press and y for the release.

@@FrenchmanontheRooftop got it , Will do that , thank you

Unfortunately I am not sure, I have found Lua macro does not always work correctly and would often need to be restarted.

@@FrenchmanontheRooftop thank you for reply :)

@@FrenchmanontheRooftop Restarted it works, thanks , but looks like there are few programs it is still there, it works in notepad but not in sticky, anyway its been great thank you, also not running it in admin mode seem to have solve it for some other people

Thanks. The deluxe T9 looks cool and not a bad price. Strangely enough I found more physical keys are not necessarily better. I am currently using a razer tartarus I got cheap second hand about a year ago. Been working so well that I only have to lift my hand off of it to type emails and it's software is very stable. I have the thumb trigger set to ctrl and shift and alt by the pinky to use as modifiers leaving 13 buttons for basic functions it can also cycle through 8 modes so I currently have about 100 unique commands set up.

@@FrenchmanontheRooftop Nice set up I reckon. I've got all my beam, column, split, combine, line, point and all copy/move command on my T9 along with bunch of view modes and separate old keyboard above my main one with my most used connections: 144, 27, 1042 "the other 27" etc. I've printed small icons an numbers on sticky paper and can't be happier then that. Cheers.

aside from a "L" missing in the first lmc it all looks fine. Although that was probably just missed when you copied the code into the comment field. My first recommendation is to check if Lua is looking for the correct device as it can change depending on what usb port you are plugging into. So unplugging your keypad and then plugging it back in can cause it to not work. Run HIDmacro and recheck the device name. also run "lmc_print_devices()' in lua macro and see what devices it throws out. I have copied the wrong parts out a couple of times now so make sure you are using the correct part of the name.

Looks like a great device to have on the side. Just too bad it's so expensive. I'll have too look out for a second hand one. I am currently using a razer Tartarus and only have to lift my hand off of it to type when working.

The above project does not have any drawing files as I just modeled few things at random. I also unfortunately don't have the model anymore either so I cannot even create some drawings either.

@@FrenchmanontheRooftop OK sir...
