How to migrate materials and colors styles from Inventor 2009 to Inventor 2013

We have just migrated from Inventor 2009 to Inventor 2013 - I was thinking to migrate the old IV 2009 materials and colors to a new library. The migration dialog box in IV 2013 requires XML files while the export from IV 2009 generates STYXML files - I am not sure how to handle this - please help out. Also, if you could explain what happens with the colors - do they become / go to appearances!? Thank you

I don't have time or knowledge to go into all the details of materials and appearances; that would result in a book!  However, the migration is from the 2009 styles library itself, which consists of XML files, not from exported styles which are STYXML.  So you just need to point the migrator to your Design Data folder, where the Materials.xml and Colors.xml files are.
