I'm trying to work on a project created in AC25 and i'm missing 420 lib objects. the lib manager says AC25 lib is missing, so i add the AC25 migration lib and now i am still missing those parts, but now have 171 duplicates.

The 25 libraries are missing because they are not loaded (obviously).

However, you also don't have the 27 library loaded - this will usually just replace the 25 objects for 27 objects.

Then if there are any missing, that is when you need the migration libraries to be loaded.

 

If you have the 27 library and the migration libraries loaded, you will find it will not say the 25 library is missing.

 

The reason you now have duplicates is because you have loaded the main migration library folder (contains all of the migration libraries) as well as the individual 25 migration library - so you have that library loaded twice.

You just need the main folder with all the libraries in it.

I feel like an idiot. I didn’t notice the 27 lib. Once again Barry, you da man.
