  2. Layers coming out of Revit during the publishing process are not configurable and do not match existing CAD layers. Clients can directly control DWG/DXF layers when exporting independently but Archibus is exporting via a set template. Can a client use a custom DWG/DWF Template when exporting so layers in published files match between CAD and Revit?

  4. Some customers request to have a better publishing color rules for Revit.
    As you can see in the screenshots, the room delimiter, and some walls in Revit have special colors. But when it is published in Webcentral, the room delimiter is another color, and the wall are grey.

  5. SmartClient SAML sign-in opens an authorization form popup, which shows the Web Central home page after authentication succeeds.
    The user then needs to click the OK button to close the authorization form.

    It would be nice if SmartClient closes the authorization form automatically once the Web Central home page loaded successfully.

  6. Smart client currently does not allow mass deletion via the Transfer feature. Only add and update. To delete you have to do it one by one or edit all entries in a way that allows for identification of deletion and delete screen by screen.

    This is very difficult to maintain correct tables for User Security and Employees.

  7. One of our customer did a comprehensive InfoSec audit to validate Archibus as a safe product. One medium point was about the logs that one can view from SmartClient. They seems to disclose too much data (server version), especially when errors occur (jdk version, tomcat version, etc.)
    It would be nice to raise security, here are some hints :
    - password protect logs viewing
    - have verbose levels
    - have a server settings / rights to hide "view logs" buttons (security group ?)

  8. In smart client if I want to view to table, I open the view, but if I want to check another table, I have to close the current view to open another table view, and then if I want to go back to the first view I was looking at again I need to close the current view to open the previous one. This all becomes very frustrating.

    So this suggestion is to have option to open these views in additional tabs so you can open multiple ones at the same time.

  9. Starting with v 25.x, 'Edit Data' box in SC Extension does not allow picking a value for a lower/child level data field, such as 'Department Code' unless you first pick the parent level. This has been reported as a pain point by some of our customers as it requires that you know the parent first, which is not always the case. We suggest that the original capability of selecting the child is put back in SCE.

  10. Currently Smart Client does not support TLS 1.3 encryption protocol, however our clients are starting to ask for this. Furthermore, since TLS 1.0 and 1.1 have known vulnerabilities at this time, it is only a matter of time before a vulnerability in TLS 1.2 is found. If a TLS 1.2 vulnerability is found, it will be very bad for our clients as IT departments may begin blocking TLS 1.2 connections, which will render Smart Client unusable.

  11. At times, Smart Client is difficult to work with as the font size is small. Can the text be sized for easier reading?

  13. Hi there,

    We have some activity switching to Open ID Connect (the login arm of OAuth2) for Archibus authentication. The remote user configuration can be adapted to work for Web Central, and it seems to work on most mobile devices as well. However, the Smart Client login process does not support this. It would be great to have the additional option for clients as OAuth2 for ID becomes more widespread.

    Thanks!

  14. v25 has exposed a lost of functionality with the AutoCAD edit data command. The edit data pop-up in Smart Client no longer allows the edit of a Department Code without the parent Division Code to be entered; the same can be said for the Room Type / Room Category.

    Per Tech Support "This disallowing of entering data directly into a child field was a intentional change in the product design for reasons of application performance and data integrity."

    This greatly increases the time it takes to input data.

  15. As a Space Manager I would like to be able to generate statistics that include data from standard tables using the Analysis tool. Now the standard fields are shown in the Smart Client grid but are missing from the Analysis reports.
    Our clients export the data and use Excel to generate a statistics report. We do have some predefined custom reports but this Analysis tool would be a great added value if it included the standard tables. The clients should be able generate new statistics on the fly without our intervention or technical limitations.
    I have attached a detailed description.

  16. With the following settings:
    afmscmpref.basemetricunits = 0 (i.e. millimeters)
    afm
    scmpref.units = 2 (i.e. per locale)
    SmartClient locale = any locale using the metric system

    When I open an unregistered drawing in AutoCAD + SmartClient extensions, the Register Drawing popup appears with Metric - cm preselected.

    I expect the default to be Metric - mm. Allowing this default to be changed based on afm_scmpref we can avoid mistakes for clients where all drawings are in mm.

    Note when I switch the radiobutton to Imperial and then back to Metric, the 25.2 SmartClient UI does select mm automatically…

  17. Smart Client Read Only - Easy role/security to allow power users to have Smart Client and AutoCAD Overlay in a 'read only' role. This would allow ad-hoc queries for users that have learned the data structure but are not editors. We would also like planners to be able to do afm highlights and query highlights in AutoCAD, but not able to edit data.
