Title: DFII->DM library conversion
Post by ywguo on Nov 10^th, 2005, 10:04pm

Hello,

I need convert some DFII libraries to DM libraries. But there isn't convert DFII-DM libraries in the Conversion Tool Box. The shell reports command not found when I want to start stand alone tool using libcvt. :(

Can you help me?

Thanks
Yawei

Hi Yawei,

Do you mean you're trying to convert 4.3.4 libraries to the newer 5.X format?
If so, you need to use 4.4.6 or earlier (maybe IC50 as well, I can't remember when the library conversion utility was removed).

Or are you trying to go back the other way? I'm not really sure what you're trying to do here...

Regards,

Andrew.

Assuming the DFII lib means NOT managed.. and the DM lib means Managed (by the low cost VersionSync)
mkdir /my/path/to/my_new_VSVAULT
vssetvault /my/path/to/my_new_VSVAULT /my/path/to/my_new_sandbox
gdmimport /old/path/to/someones/dfII/library/RefLib /my/path/to/my_new/sandbox
