Migrate Environment

The Migrate Environment dialog allows you to migrate the default workspace from a previous version of eCADSTAR, and set it as the default. Launch this dialog by clicking Home > Workspace > Migrate Environment on the Start Page in eCADSTAR Library Editor, eCADSTAR Schematic Editor or eCADSTAR PCB Editor. Alternatively, click File > Workspace > Migrate Environment. Select the version that you want to migrate the workspace from, and click Execute.

 

Note
After migrating a workspace, you must open the library in eCADSTAR Library Editor before you can open a design in eCADSTAR Schematic Editor or eCADSTAR PCB Editor. Otherwise, an error message is displayed and the design is not opened.

 

Value   Description
Source Version   Any previous versions after and including 2019.0 are listed that are found on the local computer. If no previous versions are found or only versions before 2019.0, then the Execute button is made unavailable. The most recent version is shown at the top of the list.
Execute  
  • Before clicking Execute, close any other eCADSTAR applications, and ensure that any unsaved changes are saved in eCADSTAR.
  • When you click Execute, the current instance of eCADSTAR is closed, and a new instance is opened which uses the migrated workspace settings.
Warning

Any unsaved changes in the current eCADSTAR application are lost.
Cancel   Closes the Migrate Environment dialog without migrating a workspace.
