What it can do

  • Creates part, assembly, bolt and material lists, title blocks, revision tables and drawing lists from a plain-English description, through a JSON intermediate format and a fixed emitter.
  • Checks content attributes and template grammar against data generated from your own Tekla install.
  • Renders an SVG preview, searches the templates shipped with Tekla for examples, and helps install the result.
  • Diagnoses fields that print blank, truncated or garbled.

Limitations

  • Needs Windows and PowerShell; Tekla Structures must be installed to build the validation data and to install templates, though writing templates works without it.
  • Covers template text only; model or drawing automation through the Open API is out of scope.
