When migrating AUXVIEW2 views from V4 to V5, there are several things
you need to do to ensure that your migration results will be equivalent to
your AUXVIEW2 defaults.
What you need to do depends on whether you want to use generative view styles or settings (defined via Tools > Options).
OR
Generative view styles offer more customization possibilities than settings. |

This section explains the methodology for managing AUXVIEW2 defaults for V4 to V5 migration. | ||
About AUXVIEW2 Defaults Management for V4 to V5 MigrationWhen managing AUXVIEW2 defaults for V4 to V5 migration, you will need to bear the following information in mind:
For more information, refer to the Administration Tasks chapter and to the Customizing chapter in the Generative Drafting User's Guide. Referencing the Project File (PRJ)Before starting the migration process, you need to reference in V5 the project file (PRJ) used to create the V4 2D model. To do this, go to Tools > Options > General > Compatibility > V4 Data Reading tab, and fill in the PROJECT File Path and DLNAME fields. |
||
The PRJ files must be renamed on UNIX before being installed on a Windows system: all the "±" (plus or minus sign) must be replaced by "_" (underscore) in PRJ filenames. For example, my±filename.prj on Unix must be renamed my_filename.prj | ||
