This includes many changes in functionality to CAB-i-NET Explorer allowing thumbnails of images to be created, improved support for AutoCAD™ including nested XREF’s, attachment of DWF and PDF files, speed improvements for operating on slow WAN connections to name a few. There are also numerous updates to CAB-i-NET Workflow module including the ability to run third party macros during the processing of files and changes to resolving reference files etc.

The file packages (zip file) can be either saved automatically into a CAB-i-NET Explorer folder or exported from the system.

tsaADVET are pleased to announce that the current CAB-i-NET SharePoint™ web parts have been extended to include Location Check Out/In of drawings/documents and are available for customers. The new functionality not only allows users to easily search and view the data from CAB-i-NET but also Location Check Out/In the documents so they can be edited.

tsaADVET look to integrate CAB-i-NET further with Microsoft SharePoint™

Andrew Whatling — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:27:14 +0000

tsaADVET look to integrate CAB-i-NET further with Microsoft SharePoint™. SharePoint™ is being used by many companies to make data freely available within their organisations. It can not, however, manage the complexity of CAD data such as Microstation™, AutoCAD™ etc. with their attached reference / Xref files, version controls requirements and business processes in terms of workflow. These are all areas where CAB-i-NET excels. Therefore, tsaADVET are extending their SharePoint™ integration to allow the existing CAB-i-NET SharePoint™ web parts to include Location Check Out/In of drawings/documents. This will allow SharePoint™ portal users to work on the files and check them back in from anywhere in the world using the internet, provided they have access to the SharePoint™ Portal.

Existing users of CAB-i-NET are extremely interested in these developments and will be working with tsaADVET during the development of the software that will be released later in the year.
