Enhancements and bug fixes

The following enhancements and bug fixes were made:

  • When you click the options button Options in the ArcGIS GeoBIM project or app card, the previous Edit option has now been changed to Open.
  • The options button Options is now available for ArcGIS GeoBIM users with viewer permissions. You can now click on the button and click Open or Open app to open your project or app respectively.
  • When you click on the Create New Issue widget on the map, the Create New Issue panel closes.
  • The default Document rule for the BIMProjects layer has been removed in new projects.
  • When adding an account, the All Projects toggle is now off by default.
  • ArcGIS GeoBIM project and app names have an updated list of characters that can not be used. The following characters can no longer be used: - [ ] { } ` ~
  • When ArcGIS GeoBIM apps are upgraded to the new version, the App Editor now retains all your previous settings.
  • ArcGIS GeoBIM app widget styles have been updated.

Known Issues

These are the known issues in this release:

  • The delete button is always disabled on the Slice tab of the 3D Explorer on the ArcGIS GeoBIM app. The Slice tool is currently disabled on the app until this issue is fixed.
  • Creating a ViewerURL link rule may result in an invalid link rule syntax. Link rule should be ViewerUrl({"viewerUrl":"$SharedView"}) but may show as ViewerUrl({"viewerUrl":"SharedView"}), where the $ is missing before SharedView. A workaround for this is to delete the link rule and recreate it.
