Fab 2014 does not run in autocad 2015

[ArtisanCAD]

I'm dissapointed that the fab 2014 'arx' file will not load in autocad 2015 (unless someone can prove me wrong). This makes 2015 pretty much usless to me as 99% of my work is undertaken with fabrication cadmep! Does anyone know when fab 2015 will be released?

Hi Lorne, the Fabrication 2015 products CADmep, ESTmep and CAMduct will be released on April 11th.

The 11th seems to have been a bit optimistic !

Are you unable to find them?

They are available for download as trials, and some subscription customers have them available to them as well.

Thanks for that info!

the first thing I have noticed is that the help files are STILL way out of date ... when are these going to be updated to reflect the new and changed features?

I have only installed ESTmep so far (waiting for the Ultimate Building Design Suite to be released), but I have noticed that the help files have been moved online.

I have not thoroughly compared the content to the older help files, but I would assume them being online will make it easeir to update them.

Not sure why some of our subscription is updated and the CADmep is not?

Looking into this...

[cadman_ics]

Ya, unfortunately it is not all done at once.

For me the Navisworks Manage & Simulate were first.

Then a few days to a week later came ESTmep, followed by CADmep.

Then Building Design Suite Premium showed up.

Still waiting for Building Design Suite Ultimate.

BUT you do have CADmep?

I'm still waiting.

[cadman_ics]

Yes, I have CADmep.

Actually the Building Design Suite Ultimate just showed up today for download.

I can finally start installing.
