Hi guys,
We are in the midst of a major upgrade from GEOPAK SS3 to OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition.
I'm looking for a strategy to upgrade a large number of SS3 design files to SS4 that can then be loaded into the latest ORD v10.03.00.43.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Benzi Papo
Hi Benzi,
Id set up a batch process to do a compress with all options turned off and compress references turned on to automatically open all references during processing to upgrade that data aswell.
The commands would be:
COMPRESS OFF ALL
COMPRESS DESIGN INCLUDEREFS
Just make sure you have the upgrade dialog config variable (CIVIL_UPGRADE_PROMPT_OFF = 1) set so you dont have to manually confirm each upgrade.
Hope this works!

Hi Mark,
Great idea and works well for my purposes.
Just a small correction. The commands are as follows:
COMPRESS OPTIONS OFF ALL
I would also suggest that while running the Batch Processor one sets the Initial Model setting to Default Model Only.
