Nicking Improvements

Outputting to rule benders

Fill path / line:

• Can fill a line or path with nicks
• Fills the path if lines are already grouped into a path
• If the lines are not already grouped into a path, select a path by clicking the start line and the end line

Flexible options

• specify the offset of the first nick or set of nicks from either or both ends of a line or path
• separately change the number of nicks in a set and the number of sets

Other enhancements

• The maximum number of nicks on a line is increased from 20 to 120
• A nicked line or path can be designated as tear or indent only for 3D
• Minor change in the Group Sequence tool if the lines are cuts

Universal Bolt Hole Patterns

• select holes more quickly and efficiently.
• reduce the time it takes to make a die-board.
• create a wood edge around the sheet with expected proper horizontal split to begin the hole selection process when starting the tool.
• adjust all elements like: die edge, die splits, layout position and rotary bolt holes patter position, and modify bolt holes with a single tool.
• start in die-board layer, die-split will be added if necessary, if die-board doesn’t exist.
• Show good and all holes options
• Select/deselect individual holes (allow drag rectangle)
• Select/deselect rows and columns
• Delete holes
• Select individual holes with symmetry about split option.

Realistic Folding of Re-Board®

• remove top layer with graphics

• zero-degree fold

Enhancements in ArtiosCAD Enterprise:
Additional BOM Support

Auto include documents to the BOM when saving or copying:

• saves the designer time of opening the BOM dialog and changing the settings

Add non-ARD’s to a BOM:

• allows for complete BOM to be defined in ArtiosCAD
• including graphic files, clips, hooks, inserts, etc.
• no need to create extraneous ARD document just to include it in a BOM

“Open all” documents in a BOM – simple one-click:

• single click will open all BOM documents
• will save much time over opening each file individually

Enhancements in ArtiosCAD Enterprise:
Enterprise Browser GUI Improvements

Run outputs & exports from the browser:

• run an output on document
• search results from the browser
• run exports on project documents from the browser
• run a project BOM report from the browser
• no need to open each document in ArtiosCAD before running an output, export or report
• eliminates a lot of wasted steps/time

Document count on folders:

• see the number of documents in folders (as in WebCenter)
• eliminates the need to select a folder first, just to see there are no documents in it

Edit document details from the browser:

• no need to open the document to change document details like attributes & characteristics
• eliminates the wasted time of opening and saving a document just to change details
• prevents new version being created when document details (meta data) are changed

Additional features:

• ArtiosCAD honors the project statuses as set in WebCenter. Only the project status as defined in the template will be accessible. This eliminates the risk of using an invalid status.
• Save Collada as native WebCenter file type with thumbnail. That way Collada files will have a thumbnail preview of the 3D image.
• Native Collada viewing for 3D files – no more Cortona plug-in needed.
