Allplan 2018 — !full!

Allplan 2018 was a significant release that shifted the software from a "lone superstar" to a collaborative "team player," primarily through improved BIM integration and a modernized user interface Key Features & Enhancements Modernized Interface (Actionbar):

• User Roles: Allplan 2018 introduced granular permission settings. A junior draftsperson could be locked out of "Numeric Parameter" menus but allowed to draw lines.
• Versioning: The "Project History" feature allowed administrators to roll back to any save state in the last 30 days—a lifesaver when a junior engineer deleted a foundation slab accidentally.
• Network Licensing: The licensing server was rewritten to handle roaming profiles better, allowing engineers to dock laptops at home and borrow licenses for 14 days (a huge deal for field engineers).
