Adding hierarchy to user-defined template attributes in Template Editor

2023

Tekla Structures

You can modify the hierarchy of the attributes in the Template Editor attribute tree.

Do the following:

Open your copy of the contentattributes_userdefined.lst file. For example, MY_contentattributes_userdefined.lst.
Do not modify the original contentattributes_userdefined.lst file.
Scroll down to the list of attributes assigned to content types.
Define the hierarchy in square brackets, between USERDEFINED. and the attribute name. For example:
Notice the full stops after the brackets, and between the hierarchies.
Save the changes. The new hierarchy is shown in the attribute tree.

User-defined attributes are case sensitive. Ensure that you enter the attribute name using the correct case for all characters.
