How to convert a Vijeo Designer 4.x project to Vijeo Designer 6.2?

Issue:
Can a version 4.x of Vijeo Designer project be converted to version 6.2?

Product Line:
Vijeo Designer, HMI

Resolution:
To convert a very old Vijeo Designer project version 4.3 to the version 6.2, we have two options.

1. Contact your local Schneider Electric support if you do not have an intermediary Vijeo Designer version to open the file (ex. V4.6, V5.0, or V6.0).
2. The project needs to have a minimum of version 5.0 to be converted to version 6.2. You can update the file by following these steps:

2-a Open Vijeo Designer 5.0, right click on the Vijeo manager an import the project with version

2-b In the Vijeo Manager, double click on the imported project to open it; then build it



2-c Close the project, save it and return in the vijeo Manager to export it



Notes: not closing the project will gray out the export function in the Vijeo Manager

2-d In the Vijeo Manager, right click on the project and export it


2-e convert the project with version 5.0 to version 6.2 by following above steps 2-a; if the target listed in the project made in Version 4.3 is no longer support in version 6.2, the following windows will pop up, then prompt yes

2-f enter a target reference supported in version 6.2, for instance XBTGT1335



2-g follow above steps 2-b, 2-c and 2-d
