Databases from a previous version can be converted to new databases using the Management Tools. This might be required on a new revision of Advance Steel or if users want to exchange information.
When upgrading to the new version of Advance Steel, almost all user settings from the previous version can be merged and then used in the new version.
During the conversion operation any existing new entries in the source database are copied to the destination database, also entries that exist in both databases are compared and updated in the destination databases if any differences are found between them.
