Dynamic Enabling

1 min read

There is an Action that, when used on a CAD Item assembly that is currently not Dynamically Enabled, will process the complete Assembly hierarchy to generate the necessary data to enable the assembly for viewing using the Dynamic Viewer. As noted in the following figure for the Dynamic Viewer to be used, CAD Instance data needs to exist in the CAD Structure that identify instances and their transformations. In addition, the Dynamic Enabled flag is set on each CAD assembly. The combination of this information will enable the Dynamic Viewer. The Dynamically Enable Legacy CAD Items Action is added so that any CAD Structure Item that was generated in Aras Innovator versions from 11.0 SP11 and higher and upgraded to Aras Innovator 12.0 SP4 and higher could be processed to add the CAD Instance Items so that those Assemblies could be visualized using the Dynamic Viewer.

Note
Aras Innovator versions prior to 11.0 SP11 do not have the necessary data that the Dynamic Enable Action requires. For these environments, users will have to re-import CAD data to use the Dynamic Viewer.
