Missing ArchiCAD 11 Migration Library

[David Bearss]

Am migrating a version 11 project to 18 and am getting missing library objects. When attempting to load 11 migration library there are directories for 13 through 17 but none for 11 and 12. Are these available somewhere and am curious as to why are they missing?

AC16 and 17 both have Migration Libraries back to AC10, but 18 only appears to go back to 13. If you have these versions can you copy the 10, 11 and 12 Migration Libraries to the 18 Migration Library folder, or just link them from the 16 or 17 migration library folder?

Otherwise, the HELP CENTRE (in the "Where to find Migration Libraries" paragraph) says you can download migration libraries from GRAPHISOFT website, while not giving an actual link.

Sadly I have not upgraded since 11 so do not have any of the intermediate versions.

Your key can run all prior versions, and as far as I know, resellers make all prior install packages available for download. See if they'll give you the link for AC 17.

Because the migration is semi-automated now, it might be smoother to migrate to 17 and then to 18?

[David Bearss]

From my reseller tech support;

It is there. Someone had the idea to split the Migration Libraries into 2 separate folders. Look inside the ArchiCAD 18 folder for
- "ArchiCAD Migration Libraries" (contains libraries 13 thru 17) and
- "Old ArchiCAD Migration Libraries" (contains libraries 10 thru 12)

Thanks for that. Don't know that I would ever have noticed otherwise!

Glad you found it… But why GS????

[David Bearss]

Still struggling wit this. Karl am going to try your suggestion and migrate through an intermediate step. Am wondering if it will still work with version 15?

[David Bearss]

I couldn't find where to download v17 so I installed version 15 and things seem to migrate well. But windows and doors are still v11 but all else seemed good. Saving file and trying to migrate to v18 and doors and windows do not migrate and are missing.
any suggestions??

Just an idea, depends on how many v11 objects you have... you could try opening the file in v15 and use ALT+CMD click to transfer the settings from the v11 objects to the equivalent v15 objects. Hopefully if they update properly to v15 then you can open in v18.
