| Save pre-2003
drawings with "Automatic update of BOM" |
After upgrade, if a BOM exists in a drawing,
it automatically updates when relevant changes are made to the model. |
| Upgrade pre-2019
cosmetic thread features to new architecture |
Converts any cosmetic thread features to 2019
format after upgrade.
Generate the instruction file using 2019 or
later version of File Version Upgrade tool. Using the earlier version of
instruction file leads to corrupt instruction file error.
|
| Ignore files
containing missing references |
Files are not converted if the files they
reference are not found in the file vault. |
| Do complete rebuild
(Ctrl+Q) on files |
Rebuilds the SOLIDWORKS file from the top of
the feature tree, instead of rebuilding only features that have changed. Although this slows performance, it can uncover errors that a
normal rebuild would not uncover.
|
| Process files
already in target format |
Files that are already in the format of the
SOLIDWORKS version to which you are upgrading are processed.
By default, files that are in the target format are not processed.
If users have saved files using the version of SOLIDWORKS to
which you are upgrading, the files were upgraded when they were saved. Use this
option to process these files along with other files that are being upgraded and
increment the file version numbers.

|
| Divide the upgrade
work into multiple work instruction files |
Distribute the upgrade work by creating work
instruction files that can be run on multiple workstations. See
Creating and Using Work Instruction Files
| Number
of work instruction files to create |
You can run more than one work instruction file
on a workstation.
|
| Shared
location for work instruction files |
Browse to select a shared folder
to which all clients have read/write access. The folder name must be
in UNC format. |
After the upgrade is completed, the work instruction files
are deleted.
If you make a backup of the
files before starting the upgrade process, the work instruction files can be
re-used. For example, if the upgrade process is stopped on one of the
workstations running the upgrade, you can restore the backed-up work instruction
files and rerun the upgrade.
|
| Notify
success/failure to users |
Notifies users about the upgrade process.Click Add to add the
users to be notified. SOLIDWORKS PDM sends notification
emails to the designated users based on the status of work instruction
files.
