Chapter 1. General notes

  • Learn about available integrations are available on request. Please contact support-cadenas@cadenas.de.

  • At Chapter 10, Where do I find...? you will find an overview of all manuals and other sources of information. In the program help (F1 key), you can quickly find the information you are looking for using cross-manual linking.

  • Installation packages:

    The installer has been completely revised for V12 and is provided in the form of *.msi packages.

    The first number after the package name indicates the V12 version, followed by the subversion number (possibly another subversion) and finally the build number.

    Example for V12.9:

    partsolutions_enterprise_12.9.3.242224.msi

  • Parallel operation of V12 eCATALOGsolutions and V12 PARTsolutions Professional / PARTsolutions Enterprise is possible.

  • During installation NO users may access PARTsolutions!

    As soon as PARTsolutions is opened on any workstation, various DLLs are accessible and cannot be "touched" by the installation process. An error message appears.

  • Software and index

    There is a connection between the software and the index. When updating to V12, the geo-index should always be recreated, not just updated, in order to benefit from the many improvements. You can find details on this under Section 7, “GeoDb ” in PARTsolutions Administration - Manual .

  • Updates

    Existing PARTsolutions versions are regularly developed further and should be available to you as updates as quickly as possible. Such updates always represent a complete package, which usually includes updated CAD/PDMfeatures in addition to the software. Details on this point can be found at Chapter 5, Software: Update .
