Important Notes for All Users ArtiosCAD is currently a 32-bit application that will run on 64-bit machines. It is

expected that ArtiosCAD will eventually migrate to being a native 64-bit application. The exact timeframe is unknown. At that time, 32-bit machines will not be supported.

Esko now provides a knowledge base at http://help.esko.com/knowledgebase. This site can be used to find detailed information for ArtiosCAD and other Esko products about many support questions raised to Esko.

Flexnet is the only licensing system utilized in ArtiosCAD 16. Users must be prepared to convert the licensing from the hardware key, Sentinel LM or Elan LM to Flexnet. As of Jan 2016, Esko will no longer be able to provide licenses for legacy licensing systems.

If the deployed licensing for ArtiosCAD is a network license, the license server *must* be updated with the new system controller provided on the installation media unless upgrading from ArtiosCAD 16.

Esko software can be downloaded from https://mysoftware.esko.com with a valid support account.

User documentation and help will be available from an online Esko site. Documentation will not be available from the media. The main site is http://help.esko.com from which ArtiosCAD and other Esko product documentation is available. The ArtiosCAD help menu will bring the user to the ArtiosCAD help page.

The most current Adobe®Illustrator® Esko plugins can be found at http://www.esko.com. Navigate as described below.

Windows 10 has been certified for use with ArtiosCAD 16 as a standard mouse-controlled application. There are some installation limitations. See Esko ArtiosCAD knowledge base.

Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 have been certified for use with ArtiosCAD 16 as a standard mouse-controlled application. There are Metro GUI limitations:

o The application folder structure organized in previous versions of windows 8 has been flattened. There will be multiple application tiles.

o There is no support for touchpads nor touchscreens and any use of gestures is purely coincidental.

Windows 7 has been certified for use with ArtiosCAD 16 with limitations.

o User Account Control must be disabled before using the Programs and Features control panel to modify or repair an Artioscad 7.6 installation

o The 1PstP selection in the File Open preview dialog does not appear the 1PstP time. Once the user starts navigating through the list, the previews will start appearing.

o Toolbars in ArtiosCAD:

When using the Aero theme, floating toolbar edges are not fully drawn.

The Windows 7 snip tool can confuse toolbar location.

The right side of the monitor appears to have a special function in Windows 7 and it is difficult to dock toolbars to the right side of the ArtiosCAD main window if it is maximized. An ArtiosCAD windows which is smaller than the monitor will allows docking and if the toolbar is already docked, it will stay docked when the ArtiosCAD window is maximized.

o The use of AeroPeek seems to confuse USB mice and will unexpectedly move the pointer to unintended locations.

o Avoid use of the Windows 7 magnify tool.

o Avoid setting the Windows 7 magnification to more than 125%. Beyond this level, the tool icons look a bit fuzzy and the prompts in the dialog bars can be compressed in size as to be rendered difficult to see.

The IOServer (ArtiosIO) is now supported on Windows 7 and higher since Artioscad 14. 1. This means older DataTech plotters still using the IPC controller or any device with an RS232 connection will be supported

Many users have or are planning to deploy Citrix, Terminal Services (TS) environments or some other application hosting system. Esko has not officially certified ArtiosCAD for use in a Citrix or TS environment, however, Esko does not prevent its use as long as the customer accepts responsibility for deployment and support of the environment.

Esko has verified that ArtiosCAD 16 can run as a Citrix or Terminal Services client and has licensed ArtiosCAD 16 appropriately, however, there are some limitations, including but not limited to:

Flexnet network licensing must be used.

License reservation or denial via floating license servers is not supported.

Graphics cards are installed on a Citrix or TS server and ArtiosCAD 3D uses the server card for 3D rendering. The performance of many concurrent 3D users is unknown.

The exact server specifications (example, memory, processor) for a given set of clients is unknown.

There are essentially no user defaults, since every Citrix or TS client is running from the same Citrix server.

There have been reports that access to local devices like hard drives or printers can freeze the machine. It is unknown if these issues have been addressed in newer versions of Citrix.

The HASP key used for the Alma PowerNest software in the ArtiosCAD rubbering layout can not be recognized by Citrix or TS and must be used on a client not connected to the Citrix server.

64-bit Citrix has not been tested in any way.

Many users are planning to deploy VMWare ESX-based solutions, Hyper V (Windows Server Virtualization), Citrix XenServer or other hypervisor technology. Esko has not officially certified ArtiosCAD for use in this environment, however, Esko does not prevent its use as long as the customer accepts responsibility for deployment and support of the environment.

Artioscad 16 has been certified for VMware Fusion v5.x for the Mac 10.6 . Intensive 3D is not recommended for VMWare fusion. The rendering mode should be Direct 3D, not OpenGL.

For native windows applications, the 3D Rendering Option is recommended to be set

to OpenGL for full 3D functionality. Use of OpenGL for Bitmaps should also be enabled.

3D graphics cards… newer computers often come with some form of switchable graphics technology. This means that there are two or more video cards that switch off doing rendering duties on the system. Because of this, it is entirely possible that ArtiosCAD will be run using the low end, power saving chip. This drastically lowers performance, and may introduce issues when working within ArtiosCAD 3D. It is sometimes also possible that the current chip changes, which can lead to all sorts of stability issues. It is recommended that the user go to the control panel controlling the graphics cards (NVidia Control Panel or AMD Catalyst Control Center) and create a profile for ArtiosCAD so it will use the high end chip always.

This is an example and is for windows 7.

A number of rendering issues with NVidia cards and openGL have been raised. Changes were made to what is believed to be an improvement in the error handling of newer NVidia cards particularly those with dual graphic cards.

The default SA password for the SQL Express database will be Oicu812!. InstallShield/SQL Express will adopt the Windows Domain security policy. If this policy is set to ‘strong authentication’, administrative passwords must conform to the policy. Oicu812! Is a strong password. This password may be changed by the DBA for security purposes, but until further notice, please note this password will need to be restored to Oicu812! when installing future versions of Artioscad. Also note, please do not use ‘%’ as character in the password. This restriction is due to the scripting mechanism used to automatically build a database.

Since its inception, Artioscad has provided a database schema that has always been backwards compatible with previous versions of Artioscad and 3rd party applications. An ArtiosCAD enterprise edition has now been released and utilizes a new database backend (WebCenter). It is expected that the database functionality for the conventional ArtiosCAD edition will be frozen at its current level. New design

functionality will continue to be added. It is expected that a single database edition will be created in the future.

Artioscad development is making preparations for moving to double precision float values. This would potentially result in a file that is not backwards compatible with earlier versions. The timing of this change is unknown. We do expect that workspaces created in earlier versions would be forwards compatible.

PCIQ fonts will begin to be phased out in the 3D module. Please use true-type fonts.

Automatic fold-up of an ARD to populate a 3D file window of the same number only works for U3D when the design file window and the 3D file window are both numbered one, and there are no other 3D file windows.

General Enhancements Infrastructure Enhancements

Defaults have been changed with ArtiosCAD 16 such that there will be a single location that will be shared by all languages and all versions for ArtiosCAD 16 and subsequent versions. Migration tools will be provided to allow defaults to be migrated forward from Suite 14 and earlier.

This means ArtiosCAD 16 defaults will access the same location as ArtiosCAD 16.1 and vice versa and each version will be aware of the specific version’s defaults. An English user will access the same location as a German user.

The database information dialog has been upgraded with grid points to allow better positioning of controls.
