Upgrading Projects
Projects retain information about the version of FactoryStudio that was used to create the project. Unless you upgrade the project to a newer version, the project always opens using the version it was created with.
If you now have a newer version of FactoryStudio, you can upgrade a project to use the newer version.
To upgrade a project:
1. Start FactoryStudio:
See Starting FactoryStudio.
The main page displays. Any existing projects display in the lower part of the page.
2. Select the project you want.
3. For any project that displays a ProductVersion that is older than your current version, right-click and select Upgrade Project.
If this option is not available, the project is already on the same version as the current version of FactoryStudio.
The system keeps the original project and adds the original version number to the file name, so you can still open and run it with the product version with which the project was developed. The system creates a new project with the original project name, importing all the configurations the latest product release.
