Avec notre HELiOS 2020 SP2, nous mettons à disposition le deuxième et dernier Service Pack pour HELiOS 2020. L'un des axes de développement a été l'amélioration du nouvel éditeur de masque, introduit avec HELiOS 2020, qui a été enrichi pour le SP2 de nombreuses nouvelles fonctionnalités. Citons entre autres le transfert de formats vers d'autres éléments de masque, l'échange d'attributs et la liste des fichiers récemment ouverts. Son développement s'est également concentré sur la poursuite de l'extension des couplages CAO et Office et des intégrations CAE. Il convient ici de mentionner tout particulièrement l'importation/l'actualisation par lots ainsi que le placement de documents pré-marqués (couplage SOLIDWORKS), le transfert de produits semi-finis définis par l'utilisateur en tant que sous-position dans la structure de produits (couplage Inventor) et la possibilité d'envoyer des e-mails avec pièces jointes par HELiOS (Office). Le HELiOS Spooler a également été complété. Par exemple, la zone de modélisation peut désormais être incluse lors de l'impression et la zone de plot peut être sélectionnée lors de l'impression de fichiers à partir d'AutoCAD. En outre, les ordres peuvent désormais être regroupés par numéro de document.
Delete behaviour
If objects cannot be deleted by HELiOS - e.g. because the user does not have the right to delete them, or the corresponding edited objects are reserved for export, or are built into the product structure and/or model structure - then these objects are displayed in a corresponding result list after the deletion process, which shows the reason why the deletion process cannot be carried out for each object.
Settings for the Workspace
On the General tab of the HELiOS Options you can now find the new Settings for the Workspace area. As with the known setting options in the area of MultiCAD interfaces you can also change the local session directory for the Workspace of the HELiOS Desktop, if desired. You can also specify whether documents that are not currently being edited, or whether locally changed documents are to be removed from the work area when the program is closed.
Enhanced Mask Editor
The new Mask Editor introduced with HELiOS 2020 has been further revised and enhanced with new features.
Spooler
Enhanced Workspace
The behaviour of the HELiOS Workspace, which is available in HELiOS Desktop and coupled applications like Office, AutoCAD, Inventor, Navisworks und SOLIDWORKS, has been revised and extended.
Behaviour when opening: Supplement non-existing article context by (unambiguously) linked article
In the configuration dialogue of the HELiOS Options of your HELiOS with Autodesk Inventor or SOLIDWORKS, you will find the option Supplement non-existing article context by (unambiguously) linked article. When loading model structures in which nothing is entered, HELiOS orients itself on the assignment to the default article in case of ambiguous article assignments. The option is currently always active, cannot be switched off at this time, and will be extended by additional features in the future.
Behaviour when transferring to HELiOS
In the HELiOS Options window of your MultiCAD interface, under the heading Behaviour when transferring to HELiOS, you will also find the new checkbox Check whether the document needs to be saved first. If this checkbox is set to active (default), HELiOS checks when calling New in HELiOS or functions based on it, such as Batch import, whether the corresponding documents have to be saved first before execution. This ensures that the state of a document, exactly as it is currently visible to you, is actually transferred to HELiOS instead of an older state. Beneath Search associated drawings by following schema you can manually enter the suffix to identify drawings for the corresponding CAD drawing.
User-defined semi-finished products
If semi-finished products are not inserted with the As Standard, but the As Custom setting you can set the option Insert user-defined semi-finished products from Content Centre as sub-items in the section Behaviour when transferring product structure: of the HELiOS Options to ensure that the corresponding semi-finished products are transferred as sub-items into the product structure. The corresponding item is set to "CAD relevant" and displayed in the Utilized items tab of the item master data under CAD link.
New (Document / New article index) and New (New drawing index)
The HELiOS Part or HELiOS Assembly Ribbon contains the new function New (Document / New article index) and the HELiOS Drawing Ribbon contains the new function New (New drawing index). These functions allow to replace an existing AutoCAD drawing with a new Inventor drawing.
"Edit (all)" for active part
New in the HELiOS - Active part Ribbon is the function Edit (all), which allows you to edit the active part of an assembly in a model drawing. With this function all parts of the opened (or selected) document can be set to edited mode (i.e. reserved for exclusive editing by the currently logged in user) with a simple click.
Link new / existing article
The HELiOS Part and HELiOS Assembly Ribbon contain the new functions Link new article and Link existing article. With these you can create a new article or select an existing article to link it to the open document.
Batch import and batch update
In the HELiOS menu you will find the new functions Batch import (Models), Batch import (Drawings) and Batch update.
Place document and place preselected document
In the HELiOS menu of SOLIDWORKS you will find the two new functions Place document and Place preselected document.
Toolbox support and configuration sub-types
Various sub-types of standard parts that are managed in the SOLIDWORKS toolbox configuration-specifically are taken over by HELiOS with configuration-specific article masters.
"Edit (all)" for active part
New in the HELiOS - Active part Ribbon is the function Edit (all), which allows you to edit the active part of an assembly in a model drawing. With this function all parts of the opened (or selected) document can be set to edited mode (i.e. reserved for exclusive editing by the currently logged in user) with a simple click.
Link new / existing article
The HELiOS Part and HELiOS Assembly Ribbon contain the new functions Link new article and Link existing article. With these you can create a new article or select an existing article to link it to the open document. You will be asked if the article should be linked configuration specifically.
Recognition and preventing of part dependencies
So-called "in-context dependencies" can occur in SOLIDWORKS when the user edits features of sub-assemblies in the context of an assembly, while this feature refers to other elements of the assembly. Such dependencies are recognized by HELiOS and for assemblies that have parts with these dependencies, a call of the New in HELiOS function (whose execution would not preserve the dependencies) is prevented.
New (Document/Find article)
In the HELiOS menu of your E3 interface you will find the new menu item New (Document / Find article). This function call saves the opened document (via the New in HELiOS dialogue window) with a new document master in the HELiOS database, which you can link to an existing article via the automatically called Find article mask of HELiOS.
Add attachments to E-mails
When you write, forward or reply to an E-mail in Outlook, the HELiOS Ribbon of the E-mail window also provides the Attach document function for attaching files via the HELiOS document search.
HELiOS options with automatic login
With the update to HELiOS 2020 Service Pack 2, an Options dialogue is available in the Office interface, as is already known from the HELiOS-MultiCAD interfaces. In addition to settings for the Workspace and for the import of attribute mappings, you can activate the option Automatic HELiOS login when starting the Office application under Settings for document to prevent the HELiOS login dialogue from preceding each start of an Office application.
