A smart function, that has got an extra polish in 2.1.1, is the possibility to turn the logic for disallowed combinations. You can set which values are allowed in a configuration instead of which are not allowed.

An example from reality: A company sells a product for which a certain model is only allowed to be sold on the Japanese market. In order to prevent errors they create a "Disallowed Combination" rule.

By stating that it's only Japan that is allowed (not all that other markets are disallowed!) new markets will automatically be disallowed without a need to change the rule.

In version 2.1.1 we have made the user interface more distinct with red checkmarks showing which values that trigger the rule.

Windows 7 has fulfilled our expectations and is not only well polished but also very stable.

Therefore, we are proud that COMBINUM Architect has now passed Windows formal tests for compatibility and reliability with Windows 7 and has been awarded the logo "Compatible with Windows 7".

"Green Light" for Windows 7 was given to COMBINUM Architect in September 2009.

Time passes, and what we perceive as modern and fresh, is constantly changing. Now it was high time for COMBINUM's website to get a new layout.

Take a look at www.combinum.com. Welcome!

As information for the technology geek we can tell you that the layout follows the 960 Grid System which is a CSS framework for quickly building of advanced web sites. As CMS (Content Management System) we are using the Danish Umbraco.
