Arc, the professional development tool for IBM Planning Analytics and TM1 has just got even better! Arc v1.7 includes 13 new features, 14 enhancements and 16 fixes.

Arc Cube Viewer, Dimension Editor and Subset Editor are using a new grid component which brings a lot of new capabilities such as:

• Excel like editing features

• Copy/paste from Excel

• Sorting of rows by one or more columns

• Select multiple elements with Ctrl or a range with Shift

• Drag and drop of elements and lots more.

The Rule Editor has a new area picker and a new formula picker to help with element selection when writing DB formulas. The Process Editor has a new formula picker that allow you to create any CellXXX formulas easily.

The MDX and REST API plugins store all your previous queries in your browser. You can even pin at the top your favourites:

• Built for Bedrock 4! Control processes are now displayed as ExecuteProcess in the process editor auto-complete (Ctrl+Space).

• Fine-grained control of control objects, show just ElementAttribute cubes or Picklist cubes, etc.

• Snippets are much easier to use, go to the /snippets folder after you install Arc to see some examples.

• You can save a TI as a template to use as a starting point for new TI processes.

• A new debugger tab showing all your breakpoints, you can then easily switch them on/off. Arc will stop in child processes as well if a breakpoint is present.

A complete list of all new features, fixes and enhancement can be found in the Arc 1.7 Release Notes:
