CAB-i-NET already supports the same keyword or attribute being updated on all drawing sheets in a MicroStation™ or AutoCAD™ file. This is particularly useful for completing drawing title blocks saving designers time manually completing them.
Atkins Denmark has requested that CAB-i-NET handle multi-sheet files having different titles on the CAD drawing sheets. The development will be along the lines of a document record being able to have a number of child records similar to the principle of a book containing a number of chapters etc. The development will be done in the core CAB-i-NET code base and therefore be available to any customer through simple configuration at no extra cost later in the year.
tsaADVET are pleased to announce the release of CAB-i-NET Version 3. This is the biggest release of CAB-i-NET since the product was launched back in 2003. Enhancements have been done to allow CAB-i-NET to support the replication of the Master and Instance databases. This allows remote office locations fast access to the data when working on a wide area network. This functionality is built into the core of CAB-i-NET and is available by simple configuration as required for no additional cost in terms of software licences or server modules.
Many other improvements in the areas of concurrency management, faster user navigation through use of Folder Favourites, assignment of users groups and workflow roles from template users, ability to copy versions of files to a new file, or paste as a reference. This used in conjunction with CAB-i-NET Reference Manager (for MicroStation™ and AutoCAD™) facilitates the attachment of previous versions.
Our customers have been heavily involved in the testing and providing feedback for this latest version of CAB-i-NET so it continues to deliver additional benefits to their organisations.

CAB-i-NET Workflow module has been updated with various enhancements and now covers the following areas:-
Batch operations including resolve references for MicroStation™ and AutoCAD™, 2-way batch IDL (Intelligent Data Link) for updating documents, printing to any network printer/plotter, automatic PDF creation, batch replace of the native file with the automatically created PDF version and batch update of template files are just a few of the functions available. All workflow actions can also have automatic email notification to users, therefore streamlining the communication flow around the business at the same time as significantly increasing efficiency.
Atkins have placed additional orders with tsaADVET to further advance the development of CAB-i-NET Explorer in areas such as MicroStation™ and AutoCAD™ batch PDF and plot creation using the CAB-i-NET Workflow module, automatic template replacement and PDF publishing. Also, extension of the current CAB-i-NET Transmittal module to allow packaging in a zip format of the native files and associated references and automatic filing in CAB-i-NET Explorer.
