Customization improvements

The following improvements have been made to the Meridian Enterprise customization features (VBScript and .NET API):

  • A new property Document.LayoutsNames has been added that contains the names of the page layouts in the current document. The layout names can be used to render multiple sheets from a single AutoCAD or Revit source drawing.
  • Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition 4.0 is now supported for the external tables database and the user database on the server and also for the local workspace database on client PCs. For upgrade instructions from version 3.5, see the Meridian Enterprise Knowledge Base.
  • The Batch.PrintDetails method now works in the Meridian Web Client for the Change Document Type and Issue New File Name commands, workflow transitions, and custom commands.
  • The TagProperty setting of the AutoCAD link that can be used with the Meridian Asset Management Module can now specify the name of a VBScript function to calculate the tag name. For more information, see the BlueCielo Meridian Asset Management Module Administrator's Guide.
  • VBScript logging can now be enabled and configured for PowerUser and the Meridian Web Client. The log can be viewed in PowerUser and downloaded by the Meridian Web Client.
  • New Objects and Where Used pages are available with the Meridian Asset Management Module that are optimized for the Meridian Web Client. The pages can be shown by implementing new ObjectsPage_IsVisible and WhereUsedPage_IsVisible VBScript event handlers.
  • The reason entered by the user for electronically signing documents is now available in VBScript after the transaction has completed so that it can be added to a watermark on the signed document.
  • The Connection API method GetUniqueValues now supports any property set. The SelectCustomPropertyName parameter now accepts fully-qualified property names in the form <PropertySet>.<PropertyName>. If <PropertySet> is omitted, the Custom property set is assumed.
  • The DocGenericEvent_*CreateReference and DocGenericEvent_*DeleteReference events are now supported by reference operations performed by the Meridian Asset Management Module.
