Upgrade using Export Function

In versions 10.07&10.08 the user has the possibility to export his project directly in a .obdx file. When the exported .obdx file is opened with version 10.08.01 or newer, OBD will upgrade that file to accommodate the changes done for this version. Depending on the file size, the process can take from a few seconds to a few minutes.

If the user has the .dgn files alongside the exported .obdx file, then OBM will show them in the project tree explorer. If the .dgn files are not available or they are stored in another location than the one used by the initial .obd file, OBD will show a warning message that the file is not found. In this case, if the user:
  • has access to the .dgn files, he can browse to that location and reassign the paths
  • does not have access to the .dgn files, he can restore a backup of the initial .dgn file that was created when the export to .obdx file was executed.
