Upgrading from 8 to 9

Red

Does anyone know of any problems converting 8 PLN to 9. The reason I'm asking is that the conversion from 7 to 8 was a major headache. The PLNs we converted to 8 EVERY single object, roof, slab, etc...... had to relinked.

We plan on upgrading, but we would like to know what we are getting into. Hopefully it will not be a major ordeal as it was before.
Thanks,

none what so ever, and I work with many files over and over. Most carried over from the 4.5/5 days that I still use and update. AC9 has presented no problems, and I love the new features.

no - it all ran really smoothly. thanks in part, i'm sure, to the way graphisoft have been structuring their libraries in the last couple of realeases/years.

i would recommend that teamwork files are saved as solo projects or PLAs, re-opened in AC9 and re-shared. but that said, i didn't try to upgrade a teamwork file with AC9 (teamleader, exclusive access), anyway . . . so it could all run smoothly.

just my 2p
