Railing and bringing a V25 plan into V26

Ron — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 21:37:59 GMT

Started playing with V26 with its template. If I pull up the railing tool and favorites it has several built in railing styles.

So I decided to bring in a project from V25 to utilize those rails but when I go to the railing tool none of those rail styles are there. I did migrate the file. Is this because I'm using my former work environment profile. I know in past upgrades if you used a former profile not all new features worked. I would hate to have to spend the time re creating a new enviro in order to use new features and that would require days of bringing in my custom fills, materials and layouts.

You need to load the favorites from the other template.

If you have opened the original 25 file in 26, the favourites should be there already.

Otherwise you can go into the favourites settings (the cog symbol in the favourites dialogue) and 'Import' the favourites from another PLN file.

Not in the railing tool settings.

Try the actual 'Favourites' palette (can be turned on in WINDOWS menu > Palettes).
