After successful installation of the HELiOS/ AutoCAD interface the AutoCAD toolbar will have the additional HELiOS tab:
This tab consists of the following function groups:
The following functions are available:
|
Open + Edit |
Enables you to open a file in the Combined search mask of HELiOS and edit it. The editing of a loaded document takes place in its current state, while all other users can access the document in read-only mode.
|
|
Open, read-only |
Enables you to open a file in the Combined search mask of HELiOS in read-only mode, i.e. it cannot be edited. After successful search, e.g. via the article master, you can also open a selected document in read-only mode via the corresponding context menu function (right-click document). Please note that all changes will be lost if you have not selected the Edit function beforehand. Normally, documents are edited via the Open + Edit function. |
|
Edit |
A document that has been opened in read-only mode can be reserved for editing (the editing of a document takes place in its current state). The document will then be locked on the Server against editing by other users. |
|
Save |
Saves the document and synchronizes the configured properties with the Server. |
|
Check-in |
Saves the current state of the edited document to the HELiOS Vault Server. The reserving of the document will be revoked, and the document will be unlocked and can be edited by other users again. |
|
Cancel |
Cancels the editing and discards the changes, i.e. they will not be saved to the Vault Server. |
|
Document |
Opens the HELiOS mask with the attributes of the opened document. Further HELiOS functions can be accessed via the context menu (right-click). |
|
Article |
Opens the HELiOS mask with the article attributes of the opened document. |

|
New (Document / Article) |
