Converting notes from previous versions

Databases created in previous versions of the Notes Manager are automatically converted to the current version when they are selected by clicking Choose to select a database.

Databases and notes created in Vectorworks versions prior to version 11 can be converted for use in the current version. Callouts created in those versions are automatically converted to the current format. They can be used as ordinary callouts, keynotes, or database callouts. Other notes objects, such as Text Notes, Keynotes, and General Notes created by previous Notes Manager versions, as well as Vectorworks text objects, must be converted. Vectorworks text objects are converted to general notes.

To convert old objects to the current format:

Select the command. The Convert Old Notes to New dialog box opens. Select the type of old notes to convert.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

The Conversion Results dialog box displays a summary of the objects converted.
