Migration Dialog

This tool helps existing users migrate their data from an older installation into the new version. You can migrate things like the Tool Database, Post-Processors in My_PostP, Options and various Defaults.

Copy Machine / Tool Database; This will migrate your tool database and machines and the post-processor associations. You can check the data from the Tool Database and Machine Configuration dialogs.
Backup Tool Database Online; This will back up the new tool database (just migrated) to your online tool database backup area for the new version.
My Post Processors; This will only copy your custom Post Processors in My_PostP folder.
Options; Copy most of the options on Options Dialog.
Custom Material Textures; For use in simulation and job setup.
Sculpting Presets; Only in Aspire for use in the Sculpting tool.
Use Legacy 3D View Control; This allows you to retain the ability to move the 3D View using the left mouse button as seen in V11.5 and older software, and not use the new V12 3D control options.

Note

If the Legacy 3D view control is selected then some features in the 3D view will not be available. This can be changed later in the Program options by going to Edit -> Options.
