tsaADVET are pleased to announce that the CAB-i-NET Explorer Autodesk Inventor 2012 Add-In has been released for the latest version of CAB-i-NET. This allows an Autodesk Inventor user to access the auto naming of drawing sheets, 
creation and import including population and extraction of title block information from CAB-i-NET. Therefore allowing CAB-i-NET to manage the approval, issue, and revision of the drawings and images produced from Inventor.
Inventor is starting to be widely used for Mechanical design by many CAB-i-NET customers. This added functionality will be available within the core CAB-i-NET system for customers to use as and when required, at no additional cost.
CAB-i-NET suite of software has been chosen by MIR Steel to manage all their site drawings and associated documentation. All data will be indexed and scanned into CAB-i-NET Explorer by tsaADVET and then made available through the
CAB-i-NET Browser for works-wide personnel. This allows users to have instant access to view and print the latest drawings and documents to support the operation of the business. Further expansion to control general business documentation is expected in the future.
CAB-i-NET is already widely used throughout the Steel Industry with Tata Steel, Celsa, Orb Electrical Steel, Emirates Steel Industry all being valued customers of tsaADVET.
tsaADVET is pleased to announce the forth coming release of the CAB-i-NET Explorer software.
The development teams have been extremely busy over the last few months working with both existing customers and prospects to deliver enhanced changes to the software. These include:-
- Ability to auto number projects and files when a folder structure is copied therefore streamlining even further new project creation.
- Management of CAD workspaces within the CAB-i-NET environment which can also be created automatically by combining with the above new project creation functionality.
- File naming has been enhanced to allow Keywords to also contribute to the numbering of documents. This allows standards including BS1192, BIPS (Danish standard covering construction, information technology, productivity, collaboration) to be easily configured within CAB-i-NET with no customisation.
- Ability to create Local Working Copy of a file and can be used with any application including Autodesk REVIT.
- External databases can be linked to via an SQL query or view so data from other systems i.e. Financial system can be extracted and used in keywords within CAB-i-NET.
- Enhanced reference file capability allowing users to decide various options for updating and attaching references that have changed within the system.
- Intelligent Data Link allows the automatic extraction of pages, sheets, layouts and models from files held within CAB-i-NET.
- Support for Office 2010.
There are also many other changes to modules within the CAB-i-NET Suite. All customers on maintenance will be able to update to these new versions of the software when they are released.

tsaADVET have partnered up with Autodesk and become a member of the Autodesk Developer Network (ADN). This investment helps to highlight 
tsaADVET’s commitment and drive to ensure that the CAB-i-NET suite of products is forever moving forward. The main short term purpose of becoming an ADN member is to further develop CAB-i-NET Explorer’s integration with Autodesk’s range of products, particularly focusing on Architecture, Inventor and Revit.
CAB-i-NET Watched Folder is a new module currently in development, its purpose is to provide an automated way in which to import documents into CAB-i-NET Explorer.
Activated by dropping a XML “recipe” file into a watched folder, the system processes the “jobs” and automatically imports the listed files into CAB-i-NET Explorer along with all the relevant document properties and metadata. Although this module could be utilized to import historic or archived data as a one-off job. The main purpose of this module is to allow customers to automate the transfer of documents from other internal systems directly into CAB-i-NET Explorer, without the need for any manual intervention. Therefore, ensuring all documentation is managed and accessible companywide from one single application (i.e. CAB-i-NET), regardless of which system generated it!
April 30th will see the latest CAB-i-NET Versions released. 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.
CAB-i-NET Transmittal module has been enhanced to allow better searching for documents, support for distribution groups, native or published files and associated references (if applicable) can be packaged with the transmittal documents. The file packages (zip file) can be either saved automatically into a CAB-i-NET Explorer folder or exported from the system. Customers who have been involved with the developments believe they will gain significant benefits through the introduction of these updated modules.
