Command: Migrate Objects

Function: The command migrates objects for which a native text format is now available from the XML.V3 fallback format to this native format. The number of object types with a native text format will increase over time.

If a project contains objects which can be migrated, then their number is displayed in a status field. You can start the migration by double-clicking the status field. Or you execute the Migrate Objects command.

If a project contains unsaved changes, then you will be prompted to save the project before migration. If no objects can be migrated, then a report will be sent which states that no objects were found.

Call: File menu → File-Based Storage

Dialog: Migrate objects

The dialog lists the objects for which a native format is available. The format has been improved and is now available.

The migration only changes the storage format of the objects on the hard drive; the contents remains unchanged. The change is written to the file-based format and cannot be undone. Before starting the migration, back up the project, or commit any open changes to version control system.
