Current Environment:

Firm & Project Folder​

Some files in the Firm & Project Folder needs to be stored in particular, or fixed, sub-folders under project and firm folders. If the files are not stored in these folders, Tekla Structures cannot read the files!

For more details refer to:

Input paths (Advanced Options)
  • XS_SYSTEM = Can take multiple paths as input!
  • XS_FIRM & XS_PROJECT = Only take 1 path!

System Folder​

The System folder works differently then the Firm and Project folder.

danger

In the System Folders its not clear what folders, are automatically read and what not.

The only solution is to check manually.

  • Start with zero folders
  • Check whats showing in Tekla
  • Afterwards add first folder with files what are not showing
  • Repeat until everything is showing in Tekla

Path Definition​

For more details about actual used paths, refer to env_Doka_GmbH.ini it provides additional Information.

You find it at C:\Program Files\Tipos.9\Work\DokaCADforTekla\Program\_Neutral\_General\System\Environment\Doka
