How can I copy automatic load combination tables across machines
Related question :
Where are the automatic load combination tables stored ?
In STAAD.Pro, the automatic load combination table data are stored in a set of ini files within the folder X:\ProgramData\Bentley\Engineering\STAAD.Pro V8i SS6\Language\USEnglish where X is the drive where STAAD.Pro is installed. These files are named such that one can easily identify which tables these relate to. For example ACILOAD.ini relates to the ACI Load combination table, AISCLoad.ini relates to the AISC Load Combination table and so on. In addition there is a codes.ini file in that same folder where record of these tables are kept.
To transfer or copy these automatic load combination table data from one machine to another, one needs to copy the ini file for the appropriate table AND the codes.ini file from the first machine to the corresponding folder in the second machine. It is recommended that any files being replaced be renamed first so that in case there is any problem after copying the data one can always get back the original files.
