Update Plug-in Objects

Tools > Utilities

The Update Plug-in Objects command converts a variety of legacy objects to the current format. This command works across all file layers, and as applicable, on objects that are freestanding, inserted in walls, in a placed symbol, or in a symbol definition. All applicable parameter values, and any attached records are also transferred during the conversion.

Saving a copy of the file prior to running the command is recommended, as the command cannot be undone.

To update plug-in objects:

  1. Open a file containing legacy objects.

  2. Select the command.

  3. The Update Plug-in Objects dialog box opens.

  4. Select the type of objects to convert to the new format.

All older version objects of the selected type are converted into the new format.
