The following table lists the Autodesk AutoCAD family application versions that are supported by specific application links in this release of Meridian Enterprise. For the supported rendering applications, see Publisher Rendering Applications.
Depending on the application version, the links provide the following functionality:
-
File Open/Save/Save As dialog integration for applications that use standard Windows file dialogs. Non-standard dialogs are supported for some applications.
-
Automatic external reference (X-Ref) management and resolution.
-
File property and title block data exchange with the Meridian Enterprise database, Meridian Enterprise property editing, and Meridian Enterprise redlines import from within the application.
-
File property and title block data exchange with the Meridian Enterprise database from within the Meridian Enterprise desktop clients. The same actions performed from within the applications is supported for some applications.
-
Automatic management of hybrid documents, where applicable.
-
Support for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
-
Additional functionality may be available depending on the application. Some limitations may apply. Refer to the following table.
Applications are tested extensively with each release of Meridian Enterprise. Typically, Accruent supports the latest three major versions of applications. Accruent makes a commercially reasonable effort to support new versions of AutoCAD within 60 days of the release of the version to market.
The versions listed in the following table have been tested and are known to work without issues unless otherwise noted. Other versions might work without issues but have not been specifically tested. In general, when a new version of the basic AutoCAD application passes testing, we do not expect there to be compatibility problems with the vertical market editions of the same version. Specifically, Meridian provides three variations of the AutoCAD link, one each for basic AutoCAD, AutoCAD P&ID, and AutoCAD Plant 3D. Each of the other AutoCAD editions use the same basic AutoCAD variation of the link so compatibility is assumed.
Regardless of whether an application is listed here, we recommend that you perform your own testing to confirm that it meets your particular requirements before deploying the application for production use. If you require an explicit statement of testing and support for an unlisted application or version, contact Accruent Technical Support for the current status of support or to request testing.
