Hi

I can not seem to import the old 12.5 plant symbols into VW 2008. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi

I second that

Open the library file in VW 2008, save the file, and add the converted file to the Resource Browser.

I'd just like to add that I did the same thing. I actually opened my 2D Plant Symbols file in 2008 and exported the symbols to the new Plant Objects file so I have them all in one place.

However, just a thought - are you talking about the plant symbols or Plants you created in 12.5? I had problems in early 2008 in that VW didn't seem to be able to convert my existing plant definitions into 2008 - the symbol sizes were all over the place and they were impossible to edit sensibly. However, upgrade to SP2 fixed the problem and I have been able to upgrade all my plants.

Thanks Katie, that helped. tslattergarden, I was talking about the plant symbols. I did create some myself too which seemed to import just fine.

thanks katie -- I was able to add the old plant symbols to my resource browser, but they are with black labels -- can they be edited? or can you only change the master symbol? When I tried to edit it changed the master in the resource browser Even when I try to duplicate it edits the master. thanks
