Application link improvements
ID Description

MRE-891

A new command Family Inspector has been added to the Revit link that, when invoked, displays information about all of the family files used in the current model and highlights any changed files.

MRE-2825

The Revit link now requires the project central file to reside in a shared workspace in vaults created by Meridian 2018 or higher. Vaults created in prior versions do not have this requirement. The ReleaseSynchronizedCentral setting, SharedCentralWorklistLockID setting, and Release Shared Central command are not supported in new vaults but are supported in existing vaults for backward compatibility.

MRE-3561 The email link configuration settings now apply to messages and their attachments that are imported using the Meridian client applications by drag-and-drop. Previously, that import method was not configurable.
MRE-4144 The Revit link now supports the Where Used and Assembly Structure views of the Reference Explorer in Remote mode with Meridian Power.
MRE-4544 The Microsoft Office application links now support a site cache in Remote mode.
MRE-4559 SolidWorks SP 0.1 is now supported.
MRE-4591 The AutoCAD Electrical link provides new commands in the BlueCielo menu and the BlueCielo ribbon for project management similar to the AutoCAD Plant 3D link.

MRE-4596

A new client registry value ReadOnlyReferences has been added to the SolidWorks link that, if set to 1, forces the SolidWorks system option Don’t prompt to save read-only referenced documents (discard changes) to enabled. This improves the performance of saving SolidWorks models in Remote mode.

MRE-4685 AutoCAD 2018.1 is now supported.
MRE-4686 Autodesk Inventor 2018.1 is now supported.
MRE-4687 Autodesk Revit 2018.1 is now supported.

MRE-4720

AutoCAD 32-bit editions are no longer supported by the AutoCAD link.

MRE-4721 AutoCAD 2013 and AutoCAD 2014 are no longer supported.

MRE-4722

The Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks links may no longer be installed by the 32-bit Meridian client installation package. They are supported only by the 64-bit Meridian client installation package.

MRE-4750 The Aliases setting of title block synchronization now accepts the asterisk (*) wildcard without any additional characters.

MRE-4862

A new client registry value Civil3DSyncWorkingFolder has been added that if set to 1, synchronizes the entire working folder that is set in AutoCAD Civil 3D. If set to 0 (default) only the data shortcuts folder is synchronized.

MRE-5096

A new client registry value RealDwgForceValidity has been added that if set to 1, makes the Sync Properties to File command compatible with AutoCAD Release 14 and older drawings but causes drawing imports to fail if the title blocks are synchronized also. Setting the value to 0 allows drawing imports to succeed but the command is then not compatible with older drawings.

MRE-5138 The NewLibraryComponentDocType setting of the Autodesk Inventor link now works correctly in Remote mode.
