General Program Features
The following features have been added to the program as general features:
Ribbon interface
The user interface has been updated with a new tabbed toolbar set —often referred to as a Ribbon— similar to that found in Microsoft® Office® 2007 and later. This provides better organization of tools and features as well as exposes many features which often hard to locate.
- File operations, such as creating new files, opening existing files, saving files, and printing are included on the Application menu, which is accessed by click the Application menu button located in the top-left corner of the program window.
- All other tools are located on a series of Ribbon tabs, which are grouped by feature.
- Commonly used tools can be added to the Quick Access toolbar, which is visible from just below the Ribbon and remain the same regardless of which Ribbon tab is selected.
Export of detailed output to Microsoft Office Excel® spreadsheet file
You can now export detailed output to a Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet file for the following types of general foundations:
From the Footing job branch in the Main Navigator pane, select the Detailed Output option. A Windows Save As dialog opens to save the detailed design information for each footing in the current job to an .XML file in the Excel XML format, which can then be opened in Microsoft Office Excel.
