IMPORTANT Beginning with AutoCAD Architecture 2011, the US detail component
and keynote databases supplied with the software use the CSI MasterFormat 2004
standard. Using the Detail Component/Keynote Database Migration utility to
migrate your customizations from a database that uses the CSI MasterFormat 95
standard (as in Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007 and previous releases) is not
supported. The utility will not properly migrate custom records from the older
database and may errantly overwrite records in the new database with
MasterFormat 95 data. If you want to use a MasterFormat 95 database with the
current release of AutoCAD Architecture, you can load it as described under Adding
a Detail Component Database to Available Databases on page 3545 or Adding a
Keynote Database on page 3597. Note that the older database must be located with
the previous release content and must maintain that content folder structure to
function properly. An older detail component database will not function with 2008
or later US details content. Likewise, an older keynote database will not
automatically keynote 2008 or later US details content; it will only keynote detail
components inserted using previous version details or details in previous version
drawings. The Detail Component/Keynote Database Migration utility can still be
used to migrate records from one CSI MasterFormat 95 database to another. Note
also that using the Database Migration utility to update an older database with
data from a current-release database is not supported. The utility is designed only
for migrating modifications in the other direction; that is, from the older database
to the database in the current release.
The migration utility operates according to the following assumptions and
rules:
â– Both the source and target databases must be of the same type (either
Component or Keynote), as identified by the first record in their Fingerprint
tables. (For more information on the tables and records included in these
databases, see Customizing and Adding New Content for Detail
Components on page 3907 and Keynote Database Schema on page 3611.)
â– Both the source and target databases must use the same version of the CSI
MasterFormat standard.
â– If a table in the source database has no counterpart in the target database,
the table and all its records are added to the target database.
