Miscellaneous (additional features) > Updates from versions older than cadett ELSA 7.7

In this topic, a very brief description of the update procedure from versions older than cadett ELSA 7.7 is provided.

1.Install the latest cadett ELSA version.

2.Import everything from the old installation that you are updating from, in the way that is described in the installation and update guide.

3.Convert your user defined symbols using the script sequence 0UPDATE_SYMBOLS_TO_77 in the Script Generator. Try to find a simple filter so that you do not have to run through the standard symbols. Hopefully you have used a special first letter in the names of your symbols making this simple!

4.Plot your user defined symbols using the Symbol Plot Utility. This is done as described below.

5.In the Project Module, create a new project using the symbol library where the user defined symbols are.

6.In the Drawing Manager, create a new drawing sheet in the new project.

7.Open the new drawing sheet.

8.In the Tools tab of the ribbon menu, please navigate to the Symbols slide-out panel, where you find the Plot symbol library... command. Select that command.

9.With the Load button, load an appropriate setting, dependant on the drawing frame you are using:

- SymbPlotIEC.SPI in IEC and IEC1082 for ELSA50 or ELSA70 drawing frame
- SymbPlotDIN.SPI in DIN5 for MGPROTO drawing frame

10.Run the utility using the Generate button.

11.Plot the drawing sheets presenting your user defined symbols, with your ordinary plot script sequence.

12.Check your symbols in the plotted sheets. The directions of the connection points are marked with arrows. They should be directed as the lines normally are. Mark all errors with a pen!

13.Use the Symbol Generator to correct all marked errors! The directions are corrected with the Rotate command applied on the connection point objects.

14.Update your projects using the 0UPDATE_INSERTS script sequence in the Script Generator.

15.Enjoy the new version and all its new features!
