Switch 9 Library to 10

[Anonymous]

I have a project utilizing objects from the archicad 9 library, is there a way to automatically make all those objects refer to the 10 library? someone suggested that 10 keeps crashing because of conflicts between the 10 & 9 Library.

is this wishful thinking?

Once I need to convert my ac 9 file to ac 10 (library)
You may try;

open ac 9 file in ac9
open new ac 10 file
copy your story (ctrl+c) from ac 9 (you have copy each story)
Paste (ctrl+v) it to ac 10 empty file

All your doors,windows, and objects will be converted to ac 10 library parts automatically then;
You need to load your own object library.

Ps: You have to check the parameters of doors and windows If it is same or not.(it must be same).

This sound not at all like the GS recommended conversion process......

Was having the same problem. Contacted my reseller. Following is the their suggestion. I tried it, and it works. After I did all this, I combined the library generated from the .pla file with the specific project library. I do have some duplicates, but it does work. Have not figured out how to get rid of the duplicate library parts easily, however.

So here is what you do:
1) Save project as PLA (The project before migrating)
2) Do not check the load all pieces of the library because you only need those objects that are in the project.
3) Save the pla file to the location where you put your project specific libraries
4) Once you launch the PLA file for the first time, it will prompt you to save a new file so save this new file as a pln
5) Activate the PLA as a library along with the other libraries you wish to use when you open the V10 .pln.

For more information on proper archiving of projects, go to the help menu and search all topics for archiving a project. There is also good information about this at www.archicadwiki.com.

Good luck.
