New version: ATHENA 2012

Coming in July - ATHENA 2012 will be delivered. This by far is the most complete and comprehensive version ATHENA has ever offered. A fundamentally new feature is the option to purhcase 6 different versions of ATHENA. Furthermore, there are some great new functions and existing dialog boxes have been optimized to ensure more productive designing and planning.

Here are just a few of the innovations:

• Starting in 2012 ATHENA will now be offered as 6 different individual programs.
• Starting in 2012 ATHENA will offer a Subscription Program as well as Purchasing the program.
• ATHENA Production will be offered for Parts Application to 2D Elevations without having to bring the drawing into 3D, this has made getting parts lists very fast and easy.
• Approximately 10,000 standard parts have been added (now about 92,000), e.g. precision steel tube, new Halfen channels and Halfen bolts, new straight, threaded and doweled pins, new EJOT self-drilling, sealed and countersunk timber screws.
• The command "Facade elevation" has been completely reworked and the inovation of this program continues. The features of this program have been increased dramatically based on user input and wishes.
• Doors and Windows command has been greatly enhanced
• With sheet metal sections the coated side can now be marked and terminating folds assigned.
• For creating assembly plans, a wire model with position numbers and label texts on the axes can be generated from a 3D model.
• The new 2D interface to LogiKal facilitates the generation of components such as windows or doors from LogiKal master data directly in ATHENA. The generated components are intelligent, they can be modified dimensionally or edited with a double click; sections can also be generated.
• For international planning, the compatibility of drawing data between the metric system and the imperial (inch) system has again been optimized.
• The 3D program has been rewritten and the speed has increased dramatically.
• And there is lots more! You will be surprised!
