Client improvements
The following improvements have been made to the Meridian Enterprise client applications:
- Adobe Reader 11 is supported.
- Windows Search support for memo properties is improved.
A new command Unlink from Master Document has been added. The command removes the reference between the master document and a project copy and unlocks the master document if it was locked by the project copy that is unlinked.
Copying a master document to a project folder no longer blanks the properties of Field-Path Definition subfolders below the project folder. Instead, the property values are copied from the master document
The Link to Master Document command now checks for active project copies before executing.
A new command Require Merge has been added to the Advanced Project Workflow Module. The command reverses the effects of the Confirm Merge command.
A new command Undo Make Obsoletehas been added to the Advanced Project Workflow Module. The command reverses the effects of the Confirm Superseded command.
- The Open in application command has been added to the reference browser dialog toolbar and context menu.
- A filter icon now appears in the context bar to indicate that a filter is applied to a column in a collection view that might not be visible without scrolling the collection view horizontally.
- Redline layers configured in Meridian Enterprise Configurator can now be selected and used in the AutoVue viewers.
- The Find toolbar is now enabled by default after installation.
A new option Always on top has been added to the viewer window shortcut menu. When documents are viewed from the Where Used page of the Asset Management Module, this option prevents the viewer window from getting hidden behind the PowerUser window.
- Custom navigation views now work similar to the Explorer view when creating new documents or importing documents using drag-and-drop. The default values of custom properties are the names of the corresponding folders in the path where the documents are created.
- If only one scope is defined for a vault, it is now selected automatically and the user does not need to select one when opening the vault.
- A new option Include dependent support files has been added to the Add to Briefcase dialog box. When enabled, this includes AutoCAD support files to which the drawings are dependent upon. The supported file types are: *.dst,*.ttf,*.fmp,*.ctb,*.stb,*.pc3,*.shx,*.shp. This option is only supported by briefcases in the open standard (ZIP, RAR) formats, not in the BRC format.
It is now possible to import documents to any read-only workflow state of a workflow definition. The documents can be imported from a briefcase or using drag-and-drop. The workflow states are those with the Document access setting of Decision or Review. The vault setting After importing documents must be set to Set state to Under Change. Previously, either the documents could not be imported into these states and an Access denied error would occur or the documents would import but to the initial state of the document type workflow even if a workflow definition was assigned to the document type.
- The last selected document is now remembered for each vault.
- When the right mouse button is configured as the primary button, the primary button cannot be used to move windows panes to rearrange the layout without first making the panes floating. This remains true for the Shortcuts pane.
- The Modified By property of a project copy is now the same value as for the master document. Previously, it was the person who created the project copy.
