The standalone utility from100to97 lets you convert a wire file from Alias 10 or later to an Alias 9.7 wire file.
The following table outlines the details of this function:
from2014to97 -s [saved_file] [retrieved_file] | |
-s | saves the result |
saved_file | is the name of the new, V9.7 file |
retrieved_file | is the name of the old, V10 file |
-w | overwrite savFile if it exists |
The from100to97 utility will convert fillets created with the new Fillet surface tool and save only the surface information. It will not save construction history, so you will not be able to modify the fillet after conversion. See New Surface Fillet tool section in the What’s New manual.
The from100to97 utility will convert round surfaces created with the Round tool and save only the surface information. It will not save construction history, so you will not be able to modify the round after conversion.
In this example, we are assuming that Alias is installed in the default location, and that the wire file directory is also in the default location. Let's say your wirefile is called "bunchaspheres.wire"
cd C:\Program Files\Alias\Alias2014\bin
and press .
This puts you in the directory where from100to97.exe is located.
You'll also need to use your full path to where the wire file is located; in this case, let's assume it's
C:\aw\username\Alias\user_data\wire\
from100to97 -s C:\aw\username\Alias\user_data\wire\bunchaOLDspheres.wire C:\aw\username\Alias\user_data\wire\bunchaspheres.wire
In this example, we are assuming that Alias is installed in the default location, and that the wire file directory is also in the default location. Let's say your wirefile is called "bunchaspheres.wire"
cd /usr/aw/alias10.0/bin
and press .
This puts you in the directory where from100to97.exe is located.
You'll also need to use your full path to where the wire file is located; in this case, let's assume it's
/aw/username/Alias/user_data/wire/
from100to97 -s C:\aw\username\Alias\user_data\wire\bunchaOLDspheres.wire C:\aw\username\Alias\user_data\wire\bunchaspheres.wire
