I have this project I'm in need of bringing up to speed.
How best to migrate it from Archicad 9?
I've tried to open the PLN, yet it doesn't give me the "migrate" option?
Please help.

Unfortunately the migration libs end on ver 10...

However: You may open the project with all migration libs and 9.0 library as well. There will be duplicates probably. Then You have to change the all lib parts used in the project to the current ones or if impossible to the as new as possible migration parts. You have to use the syringe inside lib part browser and select the possible upgrading objects. Even with the working migration it is the best way to cleanup the project (if there is a time or manpower to conduct). For more automating the process - the favorites can of course help for frequently used elements.

Best regards,
Piotr

So.....here's a GS link that a fellow Archicad-guru pointed me to.

it's got the option for the user to be able to download below AC10 libraries.
I suggest to all that you do this.
Seems the Libraries in prior version to below 10 have been made into PLA files of which you can actually load a PLA file into your project if you were getting the "dots of death" when trying to open an earlier version AC.
