RickBern Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Robert et al I'm planning on converting a whole bunch of files from 11.5 to 12.5.1 soon. When we run the "batch convert" command is it automatic that the utility "Update Plug-In Objects" is run? Or do I have to do that manually on each drawing? If it's manual: If I continue to reference files without updating plug-ins am I running any risks? TIA Rick Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) You shouldn't need to run the command on VW 11 files, unless there's a specific legacy object in the file. Are you having a problem with an object, or just typically running this command on all converted objects, thus asking about batch convert ? The batch convert does not update the plugin objects to the most recent version if there are legacy items in the file. I suspect there may be a way to do this via VectorScripting, but I would think about whether there's truly a need for this before going down that road.

RickBern Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks Katie I was doing it by default on all vw 11 files. Trying to plan migration/anticipate problems. Guess I can skip a step. Rick Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 All the update plugin command does is update older plugin objects to the current version. Most of these plugin objects haven't been used since VW 8, although there are a few unique situations. Unless you are converting a VW 8 file OR you used legacy plugin objects to insert doors/windows/stairs, etc., you shouldn't need to run the command. Quote Link to comment
