Working efficiently using the new welcome screen

The new Allplan welcome screen improves workflow efficiency for all users.

• Experienced users benefit from the most frequently used project tools that are always close at hand: you can create a new project, copy an existing project or open the most recent projects in design mode or layout mode as soon as the program has started.
• New users benefit from First Steps facilitating quick access to the QuickStart video tutorials. Experienced users can find information on what's new in this version.
• Right from the beginning you can get information on Updates. If you want, you can even update Allplan at once. In addition, you can use Hotinfo to start a support request.
• You have direct access to Allplan Connect, Allplan Exchange, bim+, the Allplan website and social network sites.
• The private project is automatically loaded in the background of the welcome screen. All the other projects are ignored for the time being. As the data volume of the private project is relatively small, the program starts more quickly. As soon as you select a project, Allplan loads and opens this project.

If you switch off the welcome screen, the most recent project opens and you can see the most recent selection of drawing files and layouts as usual. Using Welcome Screen on the ? menu or the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+CTRL+W, you can open and work with the welcome screen at any time. For example, you can create a new project or visit Allplan Connect.
