Application link improvements

The following application link improvements have been made:

• Microsoft Office 2013 is supported.
• Autodesk Inventor 2014 is supported.
• AutoCAD P&ID 2014 is supported.
• SolidWorks 2012 SP SP5 is supported. Also supported by Meridian Enterprise 2012 SP3.
• The AutoCAD link now uses Autodesk RealDWG 2014.
• A new AutoCAD P&ID link is installed with the Asset Management Module on the client PCs. This link includes the functionality of the standard AutoCAD P&ID link plus commands for:
  • Synchronizing drawings tags to and from asset object in the vault
  • Syncyhronizing (local or shared) workspace folder structures from the vault.
  • Showing the Tags dialog box in AutoCAD P&ID for easy tag status review.
• A new option Update DWF rendition has been added to the Autodesk Inventor link. The option queues rendition updates by BlueCielo Publisher when an open component is saved.
• A new property Alias has been added to vault contexts in the Outlook link. A different name can be set in this property for contexts to appear in the Outlook folder tree.

• Three new registry values named DisablePropertiesUpdate have been added to the Office link to control the update of document properties in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\AMOfficeAddIn\Excel
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\AMOfficeAddIn\PowerPoint
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\AMOfficeAddIn\Word

• A new setting RedrawFieldsOnUpdate has been added to the Office link. The setting works similar to the RedrawTitleBlocksOnUpdate setting of the AutoCAD link and controls document content update after property synchronization.
• A new settings AutoUpdate has been added to the AutoCAD P&ID link that controls when automatic project property updates occur.

• A new registry values named TempFolder have been added to the Office link to specify the location of temporary files that are created by the Office link. This setting is intended for use when the path to the Windows temporary folder is too long and results in odd behavior of the link:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\AMOfficeAddIn

• The following new registry values were added so that system administrator's can centrally deploy application integration inclusion and exclusion lists to users. These values are duplicates of the existing values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER that are set by users in the Edit Exclusion List and Show BlueCielo Dialog For dialog boxes of Application Integration. The new values are not set by those dialog boxes, are typically not editable by the users, and take precedence over the HKEY_CURRENT_USER settings.
