If you are a user of a V8, V9, V10, V11, V12 or V13 version of Ultiboard, your User Database and Corporate Database must be converted to Ultiboard 14 format if you wish to use their components in Ultiboard.

  The option to convert the Ultiboard Master database is not available, as a new Ultiboard Master database is installed when you install Ultiboard.

Complete the following steps to update your databases to Ultiboard 14 format:

  1. Select Tools»Database»Convert database.

    The Convert Database dialog box appears with Convert Database V13 ==> V14 in the Type drop-down list.

      Your actual selection will depend on the version of the database you are converting.

  2. Change the Type selection as required.
  3. Click Select Source Database Names in the Source Database area.

    The Select a Component Database Name dialog box displays.

  4. Navigate to the location of the database that you wish to convert (your source database), select the database type in the Files of type drop-down list, select the database and click Open.

    You are returned to the Convert Database dialog box.

  5. Click Start.

    The Resolve Duplicate Part Name dialog box displays.

  6. Select one of the following options:
    • Auto-Rename...—Imports and automatically renames the duplicate parts.
    • Overwrite...—Replaces the Ultiboard 14 parts with your old parts.
    • Ignore...—Does not import parts with duplicate names.
