    What the is going on. I can't seem to migrate from 5.3 to 6.
    i use the inv 6 migration program and on one computer it frezzes after doing 6 files and the other computer freezes after doing 8 files. i have tried everything but still no luck. this is keeping me from getting any work done at all.
    i have over 3,000 files i need to migrate. does anyone know how to fix this? i have already reinstalled inv 6 and all that crap that you shouldn't have to do all the time.
    ps i had not one problem going from 5.0 to 5.3.

    I noticed some larger files seemed to hang. I crashed out and restarted and they seemed to hang again but it was late in the day so I let them run over night. In the morning I expected to reboot but the files were migrated. So what I found out is give it time. Especially on files that have large perf patterns or lots of punched holes. I migrated one this morning it took 3+ hours. 565 punched holes.7 flanges. good luck

    The files i started with were just steel shapes at different lengths. one comp freezes after doing 6 files
    and the other after 8. i haven't even got to the large files
    of unit assemblies or weldments yet. right now just trying to do steel shapes and fastners. you can have the same part
    saved as 7 different names and it will freeze up after trying to migrate the 6th one every time. i let it set for over an hour and nothing.....

    can you open the assemblies and do the migration
    during opening or does it hang there too? if so it might be a video
    issue?

    I think someone from autodesk suggested changing
    the hardware acceleration to Microsoft generic (lowest setting) then running the
    utility.  Has to be worth a try.  It did work on one of my
    assemblies.

    Look back in some of the earlier posts. I thought there was an issue
    with memory leakage due to the video setting and a recommended setting
    that would overcome this.

    Hey TC, another idea if you have the HD space.
    Copy all your ipt,iam,idw's etc. over to another location
    and play with migrating there and keep you original stuff and work on it
    with 5.3. When you get time you can dink with 6 and migration and not affect
    your current work. 5.3 and 6 seem to co-habitate fairly well on the same
    machine.
