Problem

Opening an old CADFEKO [LEGACY] model in CADFEKO fails to convert to the new format.

Cause

CADFEKO uses advanced mapping algorithms to keep track of individual items when the geometry is modified. A model that was saved in an earlier CADFEKO [LEGACY] may not have all the mapping information available.

Remedy

  1. Open the model in a newer CADFEKO [LEGACY] version and resave the model.
  2. Reopen the model in CADFEKO.
