Avec HELiOS 2021, la dernière version de notre système PDM polyvalent est maintenant disponible.
L’accent a été mis sur l’extension des couplages CAO/CAE. Citons par exemple la réimportation de nouveaux lots, la prise en charge des éléments supprimés ainsi que la prise en compte des dépendances des éléments dans SOLIDWORKS, la dérivation pour les iParts/Assemblies et l’affichage des géométries de remplacement dans Autodesk Inventor ou la prise en charge de EPLAN 2.9.
Les fonctionnalités de l’éditeur de masques ont également été étendues. Par exemple, certains champs peuvent désormais être marqués comme des champs obligatoires, des objets de texte multilingues peuvent être créés et des textes de traduction peuvent être gérés.
Discontinuation Oracle
As of HELiOS 2022 (Version 2700) Oracle is no longer supported as a database platform.
Discontinuation HELiOS 32-Bit
As of HELiOS 2021 (Version 2600), the 32 Bit installations for HELiOS and the HELiOS Viewer are no longer available in the download area of the ISD Wiki. If a 32 Bit installation is required, please contact ISD Support by e-mail at support@isdgroup.com.
As of HELiOS 2022 (Version number 2700.0), a 32 Bit installation for HELiOS and the HELiOS Viewer will no longer be available. However, the interface to 32 Bit applications such as Office will still be possible and is not affected by the discontinuation of the 32 Bit installation of HELiOS.
Discontinuation of Office 2010 interface
From HELiOS 2021 (Version number 2600.0) on, we will no longer support Office 2010 in the HELiOS – Office interface.
HELiOS Options
As of HELiOS 2021, you will find the HELiOS Options for the HELiOS Desktop as well as for linked applications such as MS Office or MultiCAD applications in a centralised dialogue. At the start, the submenu window belonging to the application from which the options were called is displayed as default. This means that if you call up the options from the HELiOS Desktop, the application-specific setting options for the HELiOS Desktop are displayed directly, from a linked Office or MultiCAD application the HELiOS Options specific to this application are displayed, and so on.
Mask Editor - Mandatory fields
Since HELiOS 2600 it is possible to mark certain elements in the Mask Editor as mandatory fields. This makes it possible to allow certain actions, such as assigning articles or documents to classes, only if a certain database field of the class mask is not filled with a value. If this information is still missing, saving the corresponding mask is then not possible. Working with mandatory attributes at mask level instead of attribute level enables you to use certain attributes differently for different classes. For example, an inspection attribute can be set as a mandatory attribute for the article class of a certain part type with a high safety standard, but remain optional for the article classes of other part types.
Mask Editor - Multilingual text objects
Another new feature in the Mask Editor is that you can create text objects in several languages and manage translated texts (so-called "Dictionary texts").

Discontinuation of old Multi-CAD interfaces for HELiOS 2021
As of HELiOS 2021 (Version 2600.0), the following versions of Multi-CAD interfaces are no longer supported:
Automatic assigning of articles as with "New in HELiOS"
When transferring from CAD to HELiOS using the New in HELiOS input dialogue, you can ensure that article links to "recognized" documents are automatically processed by setting the option Automatic assignment of articles in case of missing recognition. As with the attribute import, you can also define different mappings for the data transfer, which can be selected from the pull-down menu at this point.
Derivation for iParts/ iAssemblies
As with the transfer of CAD model structures to the HELiOS database, iParts/iAssemblies are also taken into account and processed accordingly when you create a so-called drawing derivation with the Derive model structure function.
Title block update via HELiOS Spooler
From HELiOS 2021 onwards, you update HELiOS title block data in AutoCAD via the HELiOS Spooler using XML-based attribute mapping. In older HELiOS versions, the title block attributes were transferred via the system files heliosac_titleblock.dat and helacblock.xml. As of HELiOS 2021 (V.2600), these are omitted.
Display of substitution document
HELiOS standard masks such as the document detail window show a marking for substitute geometries via the HELiOS attribute Substitution document in the "delivery state".
Performance
With the update to HELiOS 2021, significant performance improvements could be achieved in the Inventor interface. This becomes clear, for example, when transferring the CAD model structure to the HELiOS database with the New in HELiOS function, which is now carried out significantly faster compared to earlier versions.
Batch reimport
If no HELiOS document is active, in the HELiOS menu of SOLIDWORKS you will find the new Batch reimport function in addition to the Batch import function for models or drawings introduced in the last version. With this function you can update existing HELiOS documents by re-importing the corresponding files from the file system, e.g. if a change to HELiOS documents by external tools (e.g. updating to newer CAD versions) is followed by a subsequent update of the documents in HELiOS, or if subsequent corrections to original files are to be imported during a data transfer.
Suppressed parts
When transferring model drawings with the New in HELiOS function, suppressed parts in SOLIDWORKS are also taken into account. Suppressed parts are indicated as such and regularly offered for transfer to HELiOS. Parts which are suppressed by SOLIDWORKS due to missing references are also marked accordingly in the dialogue.
Taking dependent parts into account
Part dependencies in SOLIDWORKS, such as linked dimensional conditions, are recognised accordingly by HELiOS 2021 and are retained after saving to the database. This ensures that changes to linked parameters are handled correctly even after a CAD drawing has been transferred to the HELiOS database.
Further improvements and adjustments
New Design Checker option: Non-BOM-relevant parts with HELiOS article master
In the Design Checker of HiCAD the new test Non-BOM-relevant parts with HELiOS article master is available under General. If a model drawing contains parts with article master data, some of which are BOM-relevant and some of which are not, there may be problems when transferring the product structure to HELiOS. With the new test all parts can be found that have an article master but are not BOM-relevant.
Discontinuation of old figure format (FIG)
The following notes regarding FIG-FGA conversion are irrelevant if HELiOS is used in conjunction with the HELiOS Vault Server.
Index with link for Zuken E3 and EPLAN
The function Create index, with link for the generation of verifiable changes of articles taking linked documents into account has been extended to also support the HELiOS documents of ZUKEN E3 and EPLAN project files.
Support of EPLAN 2.9
The Major Release of HELiOS 2021 (Version 2600) supports the current EPLAN Version 2.9.
