Ra Workshop 2022
Release date: December 2021
Cloud
Our vision for feature is to move to cloud, and all our products will be developed with the cloud infrastructure in mind. That’s why, we have made the first step with RA Workshop 2022. The first step was to move the licensing, authorization and authentication on our RA Cloud platform. Each of our customers has an admin which can add, manage or delete licenses, users and rights.
Next steps will be to move the entire materials database on the internet, so it can be accessed from anywhere with minimizing the IT infrastructure costs and increased security
Design and Functionality

- Find and replace features
- replace profile tool: allows you to find and replace a specific profile on project or component
- find and replace designation tool: allows you to find and replace the designation of materials in Data Edit forms
- copy and paste cell values: allows you to copy and paste the value of a single cell in material grids
- rules paste parameter values: allows you to copy and paste the parameters from one rule to another
