You can create a task to convert files from an earlier release of
SOLIDWORKS to the current release. This optimizes them for the latest software
enhancements.
You can:
- Create a task for converting files using your computer.
- Create a distributed task that runs on a
group of computers.
A conversion task analyzes the references in a file before converting it.
For example, a task converts referenced parts before it converts an assembly.
In distributed file conversion, you first use
Network Monitor to set up a group of computers that share the processing load. Then you
schedule distributed tasks using the Convert Files
task. Computers scheduling distributed tasks must have a SOLIDWORKS Professional,
SOLIDWORKS Premium, or SOLIDWORKS Office license.
