BREAKING CHANGES

Licensing

As of version 1.2.102 and later, Geometry Manager requires a valid IG license. All information about this topic can be found in the chapter Licensing.

New project structure

Version 1.2 includes adjustments to the structure of project information and manager JSON files. This makes it urgent to delete all older projects and their JSON files and to create the projects anew.

NO GEOMETRIES OR OTHER FILES NEED TO BE DELETED, ONLY THE FOLLOWING FILES IN THE GEOMETRIES SUBFOLDERS OF THE PROJECTS:

• manager.json
• manager.json.md5
• products.json

There is also a command line tool available called “Project Cleanup”, download and usage can be found at the project page.

AFTER THAT, please reset the project list with the help of the button “Reset projects” from the start screen of the GeometryManager.
