Migrating Prior Version Design

If you want to access a design created with an earlier version of the Connector for Cadence OrCAD, you must migrate the design to the current version. The Connector for Cadence OrCAD prompts you when you open a design created in a previous version.

  1. Open a design.
    If it exists in an earlier version of the Connector for Cadence OrCAD, a message appears asking if you need to convert the old meta data to the new format.
  2. Click one of the following responses:
    • Yes - Stores the CAD object to 3DEXPERIENCE and then the old Meta Data is converted automatically to the format by the Client Connector.
    • No - The migration process and the task are ended and displays an error stating that the migration was ended by the user.
  3. If you want the Connector for Cadence OrCAD to always perform the selected action for the current project, select the Remember this decision until a new project is loaded check box.
    If checked, the Client Connector will remember the user's selection until a new project is loaded.
