Manual Aras 3D Viewers Upgrade

  1. Do the pre-upgrade procedures as discussed in section Pre-Upgrade Procedures.

  2. In the unzipped Aras 3D Visualization 26 CD Image package, go to the following folder:

    • Aras 3D Visualization 26 CD Image\Packages\3DViewers

  1. Copy the Innovator folder from the 3DViewers package folder to the root Aras Innovator code tree folder that includes the Innovator folder replacing the files with the same names in the destination.

    2. Note: It is recommended that a server administrator performs this step.

  1. In the Aras Innovator code tree, go to \Innovator\Client and open the InnovatorClient.configfile in a text editor with an admin’s privileges.

  2. In the cachingModule tag, change the value of the filesRevision attribute from std to 2. If it is already an integer, change it to a next higher value; for example, from 2 to 3:

    <configuration>

    ...

      <cachingModule moduleEnabled="true" filesRevision="3" />

       ...

    </configuration>

    3. Such value modification reloads the cache. If the cache is not reloaded after the Aras 3DV installation, the Aras 3DV UI may not be displayed correctly; for example, icons can be absent.

  1. Save and close the InnovatorClient.config file.

  2. If upgrading from Aras 3DV 14.0.2, go to \Innovator\Client\Solutions\3DV\Scripts\Controls in the Aras Innovator code tree and delete the following file:

    • DynamicViewer.ts

  3. Enable logon for the root (Super User) User.
