Migrate styles to Inventor 2013

When I try and migrate an old Inventor 2011 material library to Inventor 2013 using the migrate tool from the material browser I keep getting this error:

 

Migrate Legacy Color/Material Library: problems encountered while executing this command.
One or more color/material names were changed during the migration process.

 


What does this error mean and how do I fix it? Thanks for the help.

It sounds like this error may be expected for certain things but after clicking the "accept" button, nothing happens. Also, if I open an existing file and use the save style to library command... the material doesn't save. Nothing seems to work on the new library.

The attached PDF might help


Inventor 2020, In-Cad, Simulation Mechanical

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file

I read that PDF already. Something just isn't working like it should. No matter what I do, no importing or saving to works. The only thing that works is creating a material from scratch.

Possibly you may have to export out your existing Material Style and create a new Library in 2013 and Import. I don't have 2011 around to work with.

I have the same issue trying to migrate my 2011 material and color styles to the 2014 materal and appearances libraries.

 

@Thomas: did you already fix the problem?

 

@others: does anybody have an idea?
