All of the border files (including the long borders) have been updated to reflect the changes made as part of the Arup re-branding. This means that each border now has the new Arup logo and the Arup Frame around the Drawing Title information.
In order to distinguish these from the previous issue of the borders, they have a version number included as part of there file names; r2011_v1
All of the new borders have been added as part of the CADtools update. These can now be found in the following folder on your local office servers: P:\Program Files\Oasys\CADtools_Ustn\Common\Settings\r2011_v1\ or P:\Program Files\Oasys\CADtools_Ustn\Local\Settings\r2011_v1\ on Australian Servers for the Australian version.
The sample ProjectSettings.txt and DomainSettings.txt files on each of the office servers have also been updated to include the border updates. The existing borders are still available in the ..\Common\Settings\ folder on the local P drive such that existing projects that haven't been fully configured to use the border information from the project area will continue to work with the existing files on the local P drives.
Note: The existing border files will be removed from the office P drives at sometime in the future. Please take this opportunity to check and ensure that any existing projects are configured as per the instructions in the Project Configuration Manual
All new projects should now use the new re-branded border files, and that the project is again configured as defined within the Project Configuration Manual
