Converting Documents Created in Earlier Versions of T-FLEX CAD The group of parameters “When Error Occurred” defines the system response on the occurrence of errors during regeneration or saving of the documents: Stop – stop the conversion; Save – saved the document despite the errors; Do Not Save – do not save a document if errors occurred during its regeneration; Ask – display a dialog box with the error message and ask the user about further actions. The group of parameters “Backup Copy” allows turning on the mode of creating backup copies of all the files with the specified extension. The group of parameters “Log” is provided for controlling the information displayed in the lower part of the converter window and in the protocol file. The flag “Save Log” allows saving the information about the conversion process in the protocol file. The name and the path of the protocol file can be specified to the right of this flag. If this flag is disabled, the protocol file is not saved. The parameters “Output List of Documents with Errors” and “Output List of not found Fragments” control the output of certain information into the log. The group “Multithreading” has only one parameter “Number of Treads Limit:”. It allows a user to limit the maximum number of simultaneously started processes upon the conversion. Upon conversion, the T-FLEX starts several processes in which simultaneous regeneration of not depending on each other files takes place (if they do not have relationship parent/child in the assembly). While doing it, by default, to achieve the maximum effectiveness, the number of started processes is equal to the number of processors on the computer (this allows engaging all resources of the computer). This parameter allows put a limit on the number of processes and the computer resources used by the processes. The parameter “Convert Selected Documents Only (ignore children)” is provided for selecting the mode of assembly conversion. If set, only the selected files will be converted. The fragment documents that belong to the current assembly, yet are not specified in the file list, will not be converted. Don’t Check Documents Versions (Resave All). If not set, the documents in the up to date version of T- FLEX CAD format will not be converted (except the assemblies, whose fragments were converted). If set, all files will be converted, regardless of the format. The following group of parameters is used only when converting documents containing 3D models: Use geometry search. With this parameter turned on, if errors occur during the model element regeneration (for example, an error regenerating a 3D node created at a body vertex, or an error regenerating an edge or face blend), the geometry search procedure is launched, that allows restoring the lost geometry references. 761

Two-dimensional design 762 Use of the mode “Use geometry search” is strongly recommended with the files of the versions earlier then 7.2. However, in some rare cases, use of this procedure may result in establishing incorrect references within the model. Use geometry search on projections. This parameter turns on handling of the regeneration errors that occur in the elements based on 2D projection lines. The error handling procedure restores references of these elements. Regenerate drawing projections. With this parameter set, all 2D projections are regenerated regardless of the projection parameter setting “Update”. Regeneration of projections and sections of complex models may take considerable time, therefore it should be unchecked if desired. Recalculate All Model Configurations. If this parameter is set, then the configurations present in the document being converted are resaved when converted. This parameter has higher priority than the respective parameter in the document being converted (“Status|Preferences|Configurations|Don’t save configurations”). To return to the step of selecting documents for conversion (for example, if you need to modify the list of selected files), use the graphic button [
