HELiOS Options: Default configuration for product structure output
With HELiOS 2023 or HiCAD 2023, a new version of the ISD Report Manager is introduced. The old version of the Report Manager will initially remain installed in the system, too. Which Report Manager version is used for the product structure output can be controlled in the database options.
Mark-up and Redlining
With the HiRedLine tool, you can add correction notes or suggested changes to a HiCAD drawing without changing the underlying original file. As of HiCAD/HELiOS 2023, this tool is only available as part of a HiCAD/HELiOS installation. It can no longer be called up in a standalone installation of the HELiOS Desktop.
Export and Import enhancements
Both the export of HELiOS documents and the import of files have been revised in HELiOS 2023.
- Extended setting and attribute assignment options for the generation of file names during export.
- Easy selection/deselection of linked objects and their context in the extended export dialogue.
- Easy re-import of already exported HELiOS documents. Editing the system file hel_fileimport.ini, which may have been necessary in the past, is no longer necessary.
Print documents - file name configuration
As with the new attribute mappings for file name generation when exporting files, you can also configure the output file name with the help of an attribute mapping when printing neutral formats in files (e.g. when outputting PDFs via the HELiOS Spooler). The content of the previously used system file hel_fileprint .ini is thereby taken over into the attribute mappings during the first call. Afterwards, the ini file is no longer needed.
HELiOS Spooler
Discontinuation of support for RM3/ RMA files
Printing and converting RM3/ RMA files is no longer supported by the HELiOS Spooler as of HELiOS 2023.
HELiOS Task Starter
The new HELiOS Task Starter tool can be used to automatically restart the HELiOS Spooler after termination or a crash.
Server Monitor
This tool allows you to monitor the runnability of HELiOS server applications such as the Vault Server or the HELiOS Spooler. This allows you to adjust any necessary settings in case of problems.
