The Update Plug-in Objects command converts a variety of legacy objects—including windows, doors, drawing borders, and structural shapes—to the current application format. This command works across all file layers, and as applicable, on objects that are freestanding, inserted in walls, in a placed symbol, or in a symbol definition. All applicable parameter values, and any attached records are also transferred during the conversion.

Saving a copy of the file prior to running the command is recommended, as the command cannot be undone.

To update plug-in objects:

1.	Open a file containing legacy objects.

2.	Select Tools > Utilities > Update Plug-in Objects.

The Update Plug-in Objects dialog box opens.

3.	Select the type(s) of objects to convert to the new format, and then click OK.

All older version objects of the selected type(s) are converted into the new format.
