For the Constructware users in the world I thought I would post some positive news about some recent changes. I am excited to see that Autodesk is continuing to improve Constructware; the 2010 version was just released this Thursday, October 28. The new version features improvements that are the direct result of working with customers to enable better access to data while strengthening workflows used by project teams to more smoothly integrate business processes of a project. Some of the features include:
Data Accessibility and Reporting Enhancements
Constructware 2010 offers reporting and data access improvements to help retrieve meaningful data while maintaining the integrity of project information. Key enhancements include:
- Reporting Data Download - Constructware 2010 users can now subscribe to a periodic update of their reporting data, packaged and easily downloaded.
- Bundled Reports - This new capability makes it possible to bundle reports into one convenient package.
Interoperability Enhancements
A hallmark feature of Autodesk Constructware is the flexibility to view, mark up and upload not only Autodesk file formats, but also other CAD files and office documents. Constructware 2010 continues this tradition by offering owners and contractors more options to configure the software to better fit their specific business needs, including an upgraded viewing component that now supports AutoCAD 2009 files and the latest formats produced by other design tools in the market.
Usability and Flexibility Enhancements
- User Interface Configuration - Allows customers to configure more module and field names to match their business requirements.
- Administrative Flexibility - New features make it easier to administer users and site configuration.
Product and Operating System Enhancements:
Constructware is now fully supported in Vista, Internet Explorer 8 as well as the newly released Windows 7
