WorksManager Release Notes - Aug 26, 2021
New Features
This WorksManager release enables you to create a project in WorksManager without calibration and then import the calibration file from a data collector into the WorksManager project.
To do this, you first create the project in WorksManager without calibration. You can then add control points and linework to the project and send them to the data collector.
Once the calibration has been completed on site and the data collector has been synchronized with WorksManager, you can import the calibration file from the data collector into your WorksManager project.
Prerequisites
● If you want to push control points and linework from WorksManager to the data collector before performing the site calibration, you must add the data collector to the project in WorksManager.
● You can import the calibration file from a data collector that belongs to your account but has not been added to the project. In this case, please ensure that the name of the project on the data collector exactly matches the name of the project in WorksManager.
● Once the calibration has been completed, you must ensure that you synchronize the data collector with WorksManager.
