The latest major update to AVAware Suite, AVAproject 2011, offers a myriad of new features and improvements including project templates, a new catalog viewer and more!
Typically we release our major annual AVAproject update in the Spring. This year, with so many other projects underway we decided to release it early.
Along with our usual complement of exciting new features, this release of AVAproject provides a technological foundation for some of the new products and technologies to be introduced this year. For example, all the catalogs in our online library have been supplemented with additional content. This new version of AVAproject is required to access this new material.
For a comprehensive outline of the powerful new features offered in the 2011 update, please refer to our "AVAproject 2011 Revision Overview" document.

AVAware Article Featured in DHI Magazine
|
The architectural openings industry's premiere publication, Doors & Hardware Magazine, has featured two AVAware articles thus far, with more on the way!
October 2011 - "BIM and the Architectural Openings Industry", authored by AVAware President & CEO Paul Kirsch, explores the implications and impacts of BIM technologies on the architectural openings industry and specifically the distributors of its products.
August 2011 - "What Makes a Network Application", authored by AVAware President & CEO Paul Kirsch, describes common computer network configurations, the strengths and weaknesses of these configurations, and finally the relationship of software and data when used in a network environment.
June 2011 - "Software in an Integrated World", authored by AVAware President & CEO Paul Kirsch, examines the various interpretations of the term "integration" as it applies to software. It also provides a brief history of software integration, how modern approaches and technologies came to be and offers general software selection advice for maximum ROI.
May 2011 - "XML - In Plain English!", written by AVAware Lead Developer Andrew Melling, explains XML in layman's terms and attempts to clear the confusion surrounding what it is and how it is used in terms of software integration.
Stay tuned for upcoming AVAware features in the DHI Magazine.

New Catalog Installer
AVAproject 2010 brought with it the AVAware Repository, a new structure and storage location for AVAproject system files. To accomodate all of our users, regardless of which version of AVAproject is being used, every catalog now comes packaged with the new Catalog Installation tool. The new Catalog Installer determines which version of AVAproject is running and installs catalogs to the appropriate directory.
No more browsing for application paths or moving catalog files manually! Simply "double click" the downloaded catalog to launch the Catalog Installer and click "Install". The Catalog Installer will install the catalog file exactly where it needs to be.
For more information, see Catalog Installation Help.

64-bit Compatibility
64-bit operating systems have become the new standard, due to 32-bit operating systems reaching their limit with respect to the computer hardware they can support. The AVAware development team have optimized AVAware products to run seamlessly on both 32 and 64-bit operating systems, taking advantage of whatever computer hardware is available.
