Select the MicroStation files you want
to process faster!
New FileFixer has new, easy-to-use
file-selection interface that dramatically speeds up file
selection for batch processing.
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, USA — Axiom announces the
release of two new versions of their popular MicroStation
utility, FileFixer. FileFixer automatically repairs
corrupt and faulty MicroStation files (including cell libraries).
Versions 7.8k (for V7) and 8.6a (for V8) uphold FileFixer's
long tradition of design file corruption repair with multiple
interface upgrades and increased speed of processing.
Axiom File List Processor
FileFixer now boasts an improved file-selection interface,
which provides greater ease of use and even allows users to
drag and drop files from Windows Explorer. Also, the file
selection process has been dramatically sped up. The "Axiom
File List Processor", or AxiFLP, is an integral part
of all of Axiom's utilities with batch-processing capabilities.
The revamping of AxiFLP provides Axiom software users more
efficient ways to manage the way they select files to be processed.
FileFixer is the first Axiom utility to be released
with the new AxiFLP, with more in the pipeline.
"The new interface and sorting capabilities of the new
AxiFLP give users more control over the file selection process,
enabling them to get to fixing files faster," stated
Ivan Pena, Axiom's Vice President for Marketing. "These
enhancements increase the usability of our tools and make
them even more efficient for our customers and future customers.
We are really excited!"
"Geekier" enhancements
Long-time FileFixer users will be glad to know that
FileFixer can now check itself — the DLLs and
files that make up FileFixer — before it starts
fixing design files. A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is a collection
of small programs, any of which can be loaded into memory
and run as needed to support another running program.
FileFixer now reports when it finds more than one
copy of the required DLL files — or if it doesn't find
the correct DLLs — to run FileFixer. Why is this
important? Previous installations of FileFixer or the
moving of FileFixer from a local (single) to a network
(site) installation sometimes causes duplicates of these DLL
files to be created. Having needless DLL files could disable
the ability to load FileFixer from the Axiom menu in
MicroStation. The new FileFixer can detect any needless
duplicates that may be located throughout a user's system
and alerts the user when loading FileFixer. The user
can then delete the duplicate DLLs.
These DLL-handling enhancements will make it easier for users
to install FileFixer upgrades.
Other features
Among the other features of the latest versions of FileFixer
are:
- The ability to automatically detect and repair line string
vertices that are off the edge of the design plane.
- The ability to specify whether to keep the original file's
modification date for a backup file created by FileFixer
or change the modification date to when the backup was created.
- A consolidated Report File Settings dialog box that makes
it easier for users to manage report settings, such as whether
to output a text report or an HTML report, or whether to
put everything in one report file when processing a batch
of design files or to create a report for each design file
processed.
This new version — like all Axiom product upgrades —
is available at no additional charge to current maintenance
holders.
