TBC - Works Manager - Field Type Simulator

    Hi, 

    What is everyone using to check their published designs?
     
    To add some context, I'm publishing from the office to the field (and previously I had a controller next to me and/or the old simulators). Previously, I would carry out a quick check to ensure line styles, text styles, etc were clean and easily viewable for the end user/operator. Also, that surfaces were loading as needed, etc, etc. Now the process is - Construction Data, Design Manager (select entities), and Publish.

    Ideally, from a design perspective, it would be good to have an option, whereby I could view my design on a  T7/Earthworks interface / simulator or have a view option in TBC that is the exact replication of the site screens - such that the view is in the same format as the controllers.

    I'm guessing this might exist already (and I should have put in a more comprehensive search before writing this). 

    Additional.
    We Use TBC 5.60
    We Use Works Manager and Works OS
    We Use TSC5, 7, Verso, Earthworks and GCS units.

    Regards,
    Julius

    This idea would bea  game changer if Trimble ever got around to doing it.

    You can download the SiteWorks Emulator and assign it to the project. That is how I test all projects. Hopefully some one has the insight to export to all machine types in the future.

    Hey All, 

    I'm installing Trimble Siteworks 1.43 (As an emulator), and haven't been able to get it working.
    Since then, I've run the clean up utility and now reinstalled Siteworks 1.43. 

    Now, on the installation of Siteworks, I get the following, "Unhandled application crash (details in TrimbleLog20220316_111127.elg). Please reset controller. Exception message: One or more errors occurred.
    Does anyone know where I can find this log (as it's not int he program files directory). and what a solution might be? 

    Cheers,
    Julius

    Update here.

    Have run this on a separate computer and it all worked fine. Will get IT onto it, as it's possibly a hardware issue.
