27 'Obsolete' library for 28

[Barry Kelly]

The version 27 library contained in the version 28 installation files is a fully functioning version 27 library.

Loading this along with the 28 Library packs will result in 2 locations where you can find the same object.

The old 27 one that you should not be using and the new 28 version.

This is why it is not recommended to have both libraries loaded, but is necessary if you have an old file with 27 objects in it - otherwise they will be 'missing'.

We could really do with a 27 library where all of the objects have been saved with the 'obsolete' option activated.

That way we will be able to see the object settings if the 27 object has all ready been placed in an old file opened in 28.

But when it comes to placing a new object, we will not see the old 27 ones, just the new 28 ones.

This is exactly what has been done in all of the old migration libraries up until now when an old object has been replaced with a new version that is not compatible and could not be migrated to the new version.

So my wish - please create an 'obsolete' version 27 library.

I agree, however just thinking in that arrangement what if you did want to continue using the AC27 library in AC28 on a legacy project for some reason? 

It’s almost like we need two Legacy Libraries. 
- Legacy Monolithic Library

Loaded alone, preserves functionality and usage of legacy projects. 

- Legacy ‘Migration’ Library

Loaded alongside new global library to preserve loading of legacy objects but any new objects would only be place able from new global library (as you described Barry)

Now I’m dizzy just thinking about it. 😵‍💫

If you want to continue using the full 27 library, you can just load the one that you have with 27 already.

But for those that un-install older versions (I don't know why), we could have the full usable 27 library that is there now in 28.

And in the migration libraries have the 'obsolete' version of 27.

Only one of these should be loaded at any one time of course.

I am sure when I was testing 28, that the 27 library in there was obsolete.

I will have to go back to the tech preview and have a look.
