Use Migration Tools

Migration tools take the guesswork out of updating your custom files from previous releases. The tools help you to share drawings when you upgrade to a new release of AutoCAD. You can download the migration tools in several languages from the Autodesk website.

The migration tools are as follows:

• DWG TruView 2008. Allows you to view, plot, and convert any AutoCAD or AutoCAD-based drawing file for compatibility with AutoCAD Release 14, AutoCAD 2000, AutoCAD 2004, and AutoCAD 2007 drawing file formats.
• ScriptPro. Facilitates scripting in AutoCAD. Using ScriptPro, you can apply a set of commands to multiple drawings by simply specifying a script file and the list of drawings to which you want to apply the script.
• AutoLISP Compatibility Analyzer. Details AutoCAD 2008 compatibility issues found in AutoLISP files and the accompanying menu (MNL) files. When a compatibility issue is found, the tool provides an explanation of the issue and suggestions on how to correct it.
