ATHENA 2021 (AutoCAD 2018-2021) January 2021
General Adaptations
User Interface
The new commands have been added in the ribbon and in the menus. The command layout in the ribbon bar has been optimized.
Product logo
ATHENA now has its own product logo, which is displayed in the start icon and in the title of most dialog boxes.
Licensing
When the program is started, it checks whether new licenses are available. If this is the case, they will be installed automatically.
ATHENA options
Various adjustments were made to the ATHENA options in order to enable default settings for new and improved functions.
Data collection
In order to make ATHENA even more user-friendly and more responsive to customer needs, data on the use of ATHENA is collected. Data collection can be deactivated.
2D+ projections
Multiple projections of a part are automatically adjusted in the event of length changes.
Same-part recognition
Item numbers are no longer mandatory for same-part recognition.
The accuracy for infills can be set in the options.
Specifying angle for bars
You can determine whether the saw angle or intersection point is indicated in the evaluation of bars.
LogiKal elements
If 3D functionality is not needed, you can now import only 2D data from LogiKal elements. This also improves performance.
Table design
The default design of results tables has been optimized.
Structured list
The content of groups can be mapped in a structured list.
Material request
A material request can be transferred to E-R-Plus from items without item numbers. The item number 0 (zero) is transferred so that items are recognized in the ERP.
Grip editing
ATHENA leaders can now be adjusted via the handle menu. Leader lines and vertices can be added.
Standard parts and manufactured parts
Standard and manufactured parts have been updated and extended.
