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 was pleased to be able to support the IMGS customer day by giving a short 20 minute CAB-i-NET 
presentation focused on the creation, workflow and issuing of documents and CAD drawings. This resulted in a good interactive question and answer session. Many attendees have already requested further information on the CAB-i-NET range of software solutions.
IMGS gave a good overview of their software solutions including live web demonstrations of Location Publisher (link to http://www.imgs.ie/index/IMGS_LP) allowing access to powerful interactive maps with spatially referenced information organised into themes (e.g. Environment, Recreation, Planning, Roads etc.). Static information can also be published such as asset location and type, as well as real-time traffic congestion, engineer location information etc.
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.
