    Thanks for this video. Will it work if I put all my catalogues into the firm folder? I want to have all my catalogues be reachable centrally for any model.

    @@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)

    @@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. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYih1ZmtedSppag.html
