With the impending release of Datacad 12, comes some new ini pathing options which adds some really neat networking path options in regards to sharing networked Datacad resources. (Which is really cool by the way
) One of the new path options is
PATH_SYMBOLBASEPATH=, which I don't want to go to much into the details of it in this message, but it has allowed me to tweak my to work better with all v.12 users unique paths to their base/root symbol directory. That said, when v.12 is released my Simpson Toolbar will be updated to take advantage of these new features, which will render it semi unusable for Datacad 11. Datacad 11 users will still be able to download the updated toolbar & new 2007 symbol files and manually adjust the toolbar files (as before if using non-default symbol folder locations) to reflect their paths if they wish, which shouldn't take more than a minute, but they will have to do it manually.
So if you will be sticking with v.11 for a while, and want to download the 2006 toolbar you have a few more weeks to do so. As for us nuckleheads who love Datacad and will be upgrading to v.12 at release, look for the new updated toolbar shortly after release which will contain all of Simpson's new 2007 products, catalogs and auto pathing using the new
PATH_SYMBOLBASEPATH= feature of v.12
Have no idea what I'm talking about?
