Requirements

• Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9 (10.9.2 or newer recommended)

Background

Okay, so you missed our related article about updating your copy of PowerCADD 9.1.2 before you upgraded to Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. You've read the instructions in the update email you received from Engineered Software Technical Support about how to update your version of PowerCADD - problem is you tried going to Help menu → Updates... but the ES Updater.app won't work and you can't enter in the detailed information provided in the official update email. It's okay, all is not lost.

Please note, update instructions are provided by Engineered Software (or your regional International Distributor) that include very specific steps along with passwords and log in identification information. Our note here does NOT include that information, rather it's just a summary on how to get the updater application to work. You should reference the PowerCADD update email that you received for the specific log in information and any specific instructions not covered here.

What To Do:

You can get direct access to the ES Updater.app which is what makes the update process happen. Now, this method can appear to be a bit daunting as it requires you to dig into some of the inner workings of PowerCADD. Rest assured if you follow these steps precisely there's nothing to worry about.

Caution: As is typical before running any software application update or upgrade - always make a backup - of your current copy of PowerCADD before performing any update.

To Run the ES Updater.app from Inside the PowerCADD Application Package, do this:

1. Quit PowerCADD 9.1.2 if it's already running
2. Open the PowerCADD Application folder. It should be located at: Applications Folder → PowerCADD
3. Locate the item named PowerCADD.app
4. Right+Click (or press Control key + click) on the item named PowerCADD.app
5. Choose Show Package Contents from the Contextual Menu
6. Click to navigate to the following folder Contents → Mac OS
7. In there you'll see an application titled ES Updater.app - Double click that application
8. Follow the update instructions you received via email to correctly log in and update your copy of PowerCADD 9.1.2
