• Restoring a Smart 3D model currently registered with SDx using the Restore a one of more models from backup option clears the AuthorizationCodeWithProofKey credentials from the SDx registration. To recover your data, you must first re-register the restored model to the same SDx plant as was used for the previous SDx registration. After you re-register the restored Change Management model, you must define SDx retrieval settings.
