Pulling specific AC10 & AC11 library parts out for AC12

Anonymous

I want to be able to take a few of the AC10 and AC11 library parts that are not in AC12 and create a custom library of parts I use on this project. Its been a long project that was started in AC9 and moved through the releases until now its in 12 and I have to load the library from 10, 11, and 12 each time which just seems redundant. How do I cherry pick the library parts I need from 10 and 11 so I can load just those and not the whole library?

Save the project as an 'archive' in 11.

Open the archive in 12 and, when prompted, save extract the library parts to its own project library in a location of your convenience. Load the AC12 library and use the 2 libraries in tandem to complete your project.

This has been S.O.P. for users for a long time when it comes to migrating projects from previous versions.

HTH's!
