WorksManager Release Notes - Q4 2024

Features

Remote access of Earthworks operator screen

Today, for Earthworks machines, remote access is available only to the technician web-user interface. Introducing remote access to Earthworks operator screen: this is now available for Trimble TD540, TD520, and TD510 displays.

Remote Assist for Android Data Collectors

Today, remote assist is available for Windows data collectors. Introducing remote assist for Android data collectors. This functionality is available for any Trimble Android-compatible data collectors (Trimble® TSC5 Controller, Trimble TDC6 Handheld Data Collector, and Trimble TDC600 Handheld) and Android BYOD devices.

Add background images in bulk to send to data collectors

We presume you liked the ‘publish background images to data collectors’ feature in WorksManager that we released in the last quarter. Now, we are happy to inform you that we are extending that feature to include bulk upload, and bulk delete options too. Please note that the bulk limit is capped at 50 pairs of image/ world files; if you do have more, then you can choose to do it in batches.

Publish landxml to Earthworks directly

You can now publish landxml to Earthworks directly. When you drag/ drop a landxml design in the ‘Create design’ workflow, and proceed with selecting the surface & linework (as existing today), you will see a popup that informs about this change. When you proceed to publish the design,

• The landxml design gets published directly to Earthworks machines running versions >=  2.18 without any conversion (new workflow)

• The landxml gets converted to dsz format (single surface), and then published to Earthworks machines running versions < 2.18 (already existing workflow, no change)

• The landxml gets converted to svd/ svl formats (single surface), and then published to GCS machines (already existing workflow, no change)
