Meridian Power

Disable automatic renditions

MPS-56984

Disable automatic renditions to keep your manually attached renditions unchanged. This prevents Meridian Power from replacing your uploaded rendition during workflow changes.

When you select a manual rendition for a document:

  • Meridian applies watermarks during workflow state changes.

  • Meridian does not update title blocks.

  • You must attach an up-to-date rendition before moving the document forward in the workflow.

  • The workflow transition fails if the rendition is not current.

Favorites ribbon

MPS-59385

Access your most-used sections with the new Favorites ribbon. Click the star icon in each section you want to include in the Favorites ribbon.

List of recently viewed documents

MPS-60963

You can now access up to 30 documents in the Recent Documents navigation view, making it easier to return to your work. To add an item, click the clock icon next to the file name in the Document tab. To open the list, select Recent Documents in the navigation toolbar.

MPS-60960

If you pin the ribbon, Meridian now keeps your selected tab active after you refresh the page.

MPS-61384

You can now hide status icons in document lists to reduce visual clutter. The icon appears when you hover over a row, allowing you to view the status only when needed. In your Personal Preferences, select Hide status icons in lists.

When you unlock a MicroStation drawing in Meridian Power, it now syncs properties based on the active sheet you last closed. It no longer defaults to the last sheet in the document.

MPS-58986

When you edit the Memo field of a Word document in Meridian Power, the formatting now syncs with Microsoft Word.

MPS-58777

Meridian Power no longer supports Edge in IE mode following the interface modernization.

Meridian now displays the correct rendition when you revert a document to a previous revision.

MRS-14684

Application Integration

Summary

Reference #

In remote or online mode, you can now attach a rendition from the Save as dialog. This allows you to keep the native document content instead of replacing it.

To do this, first save the rendition to your local workspace (LWS). In the Save as dialog, select Attach as rendition.

MPS-59694

 

You can now open renditions instead of the native document content from the Open dialog in Application Integration when in remote or online mode.

To do this, ensure the rendition is syncd to your local workspace (LWS). In the Open dialog, select Open rendition. Meridian disables this option for PDF documents.

MPS-59438

MPS-57358

The Connect to PowerWeb button now works as expected when you open a document in Application Integration.

MPS-59640

Application Links

AutoCAD 2026

MPS-63943

The Meridian add-ins are now available for AutoCAD 2026.

AutoCAD Family 2025 Support

MPS-55021, MPS-55020, MPS-55026, MPS-55017

Meridian now integrates with AutoCAD 2025 and its specialized toolsets, including Electrical, Map 3D, Civil 3D, and RealDWG.

Improvements and issues fixed

Summary

Reference #

In Application Integration, the search field keeps the term you previously entered but doesn’t run the search until you press Enter. This reduces load times and lets you change the search term before executing the search.

MPS-64046

When you create a new document from Application Integration, authentication might fail when the wizard displays. This failure depends on the identity provider used and the internet and browser settings on the workstation.

  • Open and save documents from Application Integration to ensure the system functions as expected.

  • To create new documents, the recommended approach is to create the document in the PowerWeb UI and then open it from the PowerWeb UI.

Known issues

Component

Summary

Reference #

Meridian Power

Meridian now displays an error when you replace the content of an existing hybrid part while site cache mode is active.

Workaround:

  1. Select and delete the hybrid part.

  2. Select a document to attach the hybrid part.

  3. Drag the new hybrid content onto the document.

  4. Select Attach as hybrid.

MRS-614

Meridian Power

When you disable automatic renditions for a document, replacing the content still updates the Rendition updated at timestamp. Consequently, the system does not warn you if the rendition is outdated during the next workflow transition.

MRS-14728

Meridian Power

When you disable automatic rendition for a document, reverting to a previous revision displays an incorrect rendition. Always update the rendition after reverting to a previous revision and before you progress the workflow.

MRS-14684

Application Integration

When you save a rendition from Application integration, the dialog only displays PDF documents. To resolve this, drag the PDF file and drop it onto the document, then select Attach as rendition.

MRS-14767

Application Integration

Authentication might fail when the wizard appears in Application integration. This depends on your identity provider and your workstation's browser settings.

  • Open and save documents from Application Integration to ensure the system functions as expected.

  • To create new documents, the recommended approach is to create the document in the PowerWeb UI and then open it from the PowerWeb UI.

MRS-66001

Meridian Administration

When you re-enable automatic rendition for a document, the system does not create a new rendition immediately. To update the rendition, select Update in the Rendition section of the Document menu.
