Enabling Legacy CAD Items to Work with Dynamic Visualization

1 min read

The following steps outline the process to enable legacy CAD Items to work with dynamic visualization:

Enable the DynamicEnabler User. The DynamicEnabler User is required to update legacy CAD items only – it is not required to dynamically enable newly converted CAD items.
1. Log into Aras Innovator as an administrator.
2. Find and edit the dynamic_enabler User item.
3. Set Logon Enabled to true and choose an appropriate password.
On the Aras Innovator Server, open the InnovatorServerConfig.xml file and add the following Operating Parameter:
<operating_parameter key="dynamic_enabler” value="dynamic_enabler|<Password>" />
In Aras Innovator, add the DynamicEnabler User Identity as a member of the Aras PLM Identity.

Note

This is done because DynamicEnabler needs Update access to all CAD items that need to work with Dynamic Visualization.

Select CAD Items from the database and run the Dynamically Enable Legacy CAD Items Action as needed.
