CADLink support for AutoCAD® 2004

We are already working on the new update to support AutoCAD 2004. We will provide details on the availability of this update to CADLink shortly.

kVisia Industry Process Server (IPS) support for Webtop –  Now Available
kVisia IPS 2.3 is now available. This release includes the kVisia Consumer Client for Webtop. This client allows consumers to view documents and to see the properties dialogs configured using kVisia Studio or kVisia Slipstream. The same XML configuration file drives the properties dialogs on desktop and Webtop; meaning that one configuration replaces two customizations. 

View the online demonstration at the Information Center.

To help clients build 21 CFR Part 11 compliant DLAs, this release also adds functionality to provide a reason for signoff, as part of the Electronic Signature, and captures the full Documentum name. It also provides Watermark enhancements, including display of repeating attributes.

In Q3 kVisia IPS 2.4 will deliver a Contributor Client for Webtop, which will allow the same XML configuration to drive the same application on the desktop or web, integrating with the Documentum Desktop and Webtop clients.
