  6. Interface • Interface based on VBA, supported from the release V5R16 to R18. For configuration prospective (i.e. to set the location of the project relative to the interface), objective is to work from settings and to populate environment variable directly from a macro command. • Units are supported through a complete mapping on a global units definition. • Automapping: to be launched in the next release. • Language  English Future release will support other European languages (e.g.: French, German and Italian). • Available on windows platform with floating licenses.
