Project Environment:
Besides the storage format also the versions of libraries (explicitly included ones), the
visualization profile and the compiler version of the project to be loaded might be
different to those installed with the current programming system. In this case the
Project Environment dialog will open with the respective subdialog(s), where you can
do version upgrades, if there are newer versions installed on your system. Regard that,
if deciding not to update any version setting now, you still will have the possibility to
do that later. The Project Environment dialogs are always accessible via command
'Project Environment'. Please see Project Environment for further description.
Note: If you load an old project for which the compiler version is "newest" (Project
Settings), while here in the new programming system the Project Environment
setting for the compiler version is "Do not update", then the version most recently
used in the old project will be used (not the "newest" in the new environment).
3) The project was not saved with »PLC Designer« V3.x:
• If you have used the appropriate file type filter when selecting the project file to be
opened, automatically the corresponding converter -if available - will be used and
the project will be converted to the new format. Notice that the way of conversion
depends on the currently used converter. Usually, If necessary, you will be asked to
define a library or device replacement as described below: Library Reference
Conversion, Device Conversion. See also the notes below this list.
• If you have set the file type 'All files' when selecting the project file to be opened,
no converter gets activated and the dialog 'Convert Project File' will appear, where
you explicitly have to activate the conversion of the project by choosing one of the
options:
