Tiếng ViệtRelease notes: New in AI Cloud Fabrication drawings
In Tekla Structures 2026, reduce the time and expertise needed to create fabrication drawings with AI-assisted template selection and improved cloning and associativity.
First released as a preview feature in Tekla Structures 2025, the service has been improved based on the feedback. Additionally, the method for finding the best matching template has been enhanced, and now it more likely suggests a match that is more similar to the target assembly. While the new AI model improves template matching from the cloud libraries, a human-in-the-loop step helps fine-tune the AI suggestions. The updated interface provides a clear template preview, top three AI-based matches, and options to clone or create from settings.
To further enhance drawing output quality, cloning has been improved with more reliable placement of annotations, dimensions, and views, avoiding issues such as stiffeners being dimensioned as connection plates. You can also associate section views with objects, helping keep the drawings consistent after cloning or model updates.
Many improvements have also been delivered to AI Cloud Fabrication drawings in Tekla Structures version 2025 through the service packs.
Enhanced template matching
In Tekla Structures 2026, the method for identifying the best matching templates has been thoroughly revamped. If drawings exist in a library for assemblies or cast units similar to the selected ones, the new method is optimized to locate and suggest these drawings as templates.
Additionally, the search time for the best matching templates has been significantly shortened. The method now suggests multiple template candidates, offering up to three top choices based on library size and candidate quality.

Improved drawing upload
-
Earlier, you could not re-upload drawings manually from Document manager using the
plus button when the drawing was modified or when you were uploading from a newer Tekla Structures version. This issue has now been fixed, and re-uploading succeeds.TTSD-74129

Previously, the drawing upload could start with a significant delay. This issue has now been fixed.

Improved cloning results
-
Cloning results have improved for drawings created using the AI Cloud Fabrication drawings feature when source drawings have been uploaded from Tekla Structures 2025 SP2 or newer into a collection. Better cloning results can be seen with elements such as dimensioning, marks, and section views.

There are also improvements in drawing cloning that might affect the creation quality of AI Cloud Fabrication drawings, for example, cloning is now faster and it now works more reliably with main parts that are not very similar.
Tekla Structures 2025 service pack highlights
The best matching template or its settings file is automatically selected in the top match library, and you can also change your selections. This provides greater flexibility and control over the drawing creation process. Previously, you could only select the library, and the drawing creation was done using the best matching template or its settings file in the selected library.
