WARNING: We highly recommended that you make a backup copy of drawings (and tileconfig.xml if present) before starting the conversion process.
-
Load the drawing to be converted.
-
From the Office menu select Convert, Steelcase Style Number Conversion Wizard.
The Style Number Conversion Utility dialog appears. -
Click Select Objects to choose areas of the drawing for conversion. This would allow different choices for converted items in different areas of the drawing.
Or, check All Objects to convert the entire drawing. All like items will be converted to the same new style number and/or catalog code.
Note: Drawings containing Captile configurations must be converted as a whole. In such drawings, the dialog changes slightly. -
Click OK to start the conversion.
The conversion process continues until an item requiring user intervention is encountered. Depending on the type of conversion required, different dialogs may appear.
When a Catalog code requires a user selection, the dialog box below appears.
Select the desired new catalog code for the converted item.
Check the box at the bottom to speed up the conversion process. The selected new catalog code will be used for any upcoming conversion item coming from the same old catalog.
The example below shows an item that had options where the option trail has changed in the new style number. Note that original options will be retained wherever possible, up to the point that re-optioning is required.
The top window displays the worksheet item and its retained options. The middle window displays and allows selection of the next required option selection. The lower window displays the newly converted part and its selected options. You may choose to select options or not.
-
Click OK to finish the conversion of this item and proceed on to the next item to be converted.
-
When all items in the original drawing have been processed, you will see a message stating that the conversion is complete. Click OK.
A list of converted Steelcase parts is available in the AutoCAD text window. You can copy and save this list for future reference.
