AutoCAD family applications

The following table lists the Autodesk AutoCAD family application versions that are supported by specific application links in this release of BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise.

Depending on the application version, the links provide the following functionality:

• File Open/Save/Save As dialog integration for applications that use standard Windows file dialogs. Non-standard dialogs are supported for some applications.
• Automatic external reference (X-Ref) management and resolution.
• File property and title block data exchange with the Meridian Enterprise database, Meridian Enterprise property editing, and Meridian Enterprise redlines import from within the application.
• File property and title block data exchange with the Meridian Enterprise database from within the Meridian Enterprise desktop clients. The same actions performed from within the applications is supported for some applications.
• Automatic management of hybrid documents, where applicable.
• Viewing of the application’s file formats in Meridian Enterprise is provided by Oracle AutoVue or AutoVue 3D Professional.
• Support for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
• Additional functionality may be available depending on the application. Some limitations may apply. Refer to the following table.

Applications are tested extensively with each release of Meridian Enterprise. Typically, BlueCielo supports the latest three major versions of applications. BlueCielo makes a commercially reasonable effort to support new versions of AutoCAD within 60 days of the release of the version to market.

Notes

1. AutoCAD LT does not support the Application Runtime Extension (ARX) technology upon which Meridian Enterprise AutoCAD link is based. Therefore, none of the AutoCAD link functionality normally available from within AutoCAD is supported for AutoCAD LT. However, link functionality (for example, property synchronization) executed from within the Meridian Enterprise clients does work with AutoCAD LT files.
2. Synchronization of project file references is also supported.
3. Synchronization of project file properties is also supported.
4. Supports Meridian Asset Management Module object tags.
