AutoCAD Architecture Content

[#1]

We're in the process of updating from 2006 ADT to 2009 ACA. I have a lot of existing ADT content tools and want them in ACA. Is it recommended that I update the source files of the content from 2006.dwg to 2009.dwg's? We are not upgrading all at once - it will be more of a transition period - so this would mean copying all the source files, updating them all, then redirecting all the content to the new source files. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

you can download for free DWG Trueview from Adesk that will allow you to
batch save up to 2007 format for 09 to work with.

I would create a new set of content for 09 and leave the old set alone for
use until you are all upgraded. It's better that 09 is working with files
already upgraded.
You would then only need to direct the 09 installations to the new content
and leave the 06 installs linked to the old content.

OK, thats what I kinda figured. I guess the only thing I'm not clear on is how to re-direct the tools to the new content. I know I can open each tool palette, open the properties of thet tools, and point them to the new content DWG. Is there a quicker way of doing this or am I on the right track?

Thanks again
