Overview Of Keeping AccuGlobe Up To Date

Using the latest version will ensure that you, the user, has the greatest possible experience of AccuGlobe. AccuGlobe is under constant development to provide new and refining existing features to meet your highest expectations. The updater offers an user friendly interface that updates AccuGlobe and any plug-ins or extensions purchased from DDTI.

Interface

The updater offers an user friendly interface that informs the user exactly what is being downloaded and to where. The below image is an example of the updater finding new files available for download:

Update screenshot
By clicking on the retrieve button the updater would download all the selected files and install them to their respective locations.

All files maintained by DDTI are considered to be required files. It may be the case that DDTI also offers data downloads in which case will appear to be optionally available. By default all required and optional files are tagged for downloading. All files that have been replaced will be moved to the accuglobe 2004\backup directory.

Select All Optional Downloads

Above on the right hand side of the optional file download list is the [+] button. Clicking on this will tag all optional files to be downloaded.

Deselect All Optional Downloads

Above on the right hand side of the optional file download list is the [-] button. Clicking on this will tag only the required files to be downloaded.

Preferences

Command Line

To run the updater from the command line set the working directory to its location and run without parameters, hence 'update'. To run in silent mode use 'update /silent'. Another optional parameter is '/force'. This will terminate AccuGlobe if it is loaded; losing all changes to the current project. This option must be used with '/silent'.
