My local AC office suggest I use "replace attributes" command. So I exported my attributes, follow the instructions, generated a txt file, jumped through the hoops and held my tongue right, and now it still won't work. <BR /> I have checked:<BR /> - The files are the right format. <BR /> - Naming conflicts<BR /> - att name exists in file<BR /> So I have made a few test files.<BR /> In this one there a few surface attributes which I would like to replace. <BR /> Would someone be so kind as to look at the .txt file and let me know if there is an error in it. <BR /> When I use the "replace attributes" command on "test 1" it doesn't throw up any errors. Indeed it does not seem to do anything at all. When I try "test 2" it says incorrect file format. I am saving as a tab delimited txt file.<BR /> <BR /> Cheers Jo</T></DIV> Thu, 29 Sep 2016 09:35:31 GMT Anonymous 2016-09-29T09:35:31Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Legacy-Template-Migration/m-p/233545#M907 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Hi Helpful Peoples,<BR /> I have spent a lot of the previous week building templates after the bounce from AC15 to AC20. <BR /> I am now trying to make a legacy template to aid with opening old files.
