Migrates your files after you install an updated release of your application.
When selecting files to migrate, you can select files outside of or within the Vault (not available in Inventor LT):
- Specific files.
- All files in a directory including subfolders.
- All files that an assembly references
- All files in an Inventor project.
You can add files from a remote server or remote workstation. Use a unique UNC path, such as \\server_name\our_folders. Avoid using different drive mappings or different UNC paths to the same file.
If you select a project that has a style library, the migration process removes any unused styles (not available in Inventor LT)..
Files created in Inventor 2011
When you migrate files created in Inventor 2011, ensure that the top assembly folder contains the top assembly folder and any assembly component folders. If you locate assembly components in any different sub folders, and then migrate the files, the visibility of some components changes in the migrated files.
Tips
- Run the Purge task on your data to clean out the styles that did not match the style library (not available in Inventor LT).
- You can migrate drawing files in a defer-update state. Set this option manually in the Drawing Settings dialog box to allow updates to continue.
- In the migration options, Total Rebuild increases the performance of the Inventor application.
