Migrating Classifications, again

_c_ — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 17:02:02 GMT

Hello,

we are about to migrate from Archicad 24 to 26 and wish to be sure that we are using the recommended methods to migrate classifications.

A) For not migrated files, towards the end, there was the following description in this post:

rename in the old file the classification system from AC XX to AC YY
migrate the old file to the new version
export a AC YY classification from a clean template (including the properties) and
import it to the migrated project.

B) For migrated files, where we wish to transfer them from 24 to 26, it should then be possible to follow this method:

rename: in the already migrated file, rename the version of the Archicad Classification System from 24 to 26
import: an xml file with a clean Archicad Classification System 26, without properties
1. append: the duplicated Classification System will raise an alert, click on append
2. replace: the duplicated Classification Items will raise an alert, click on replace

Actually, the help states about appending

"Duplicate Properties: If you choose Append, the duplicate properties are imported with a suffix added to their name."

but I don't see this happening, there is no suffix

Are we on the secure track?

Thank you
