Before testing all of your files with the Upgrade Assistant, select a small, representative sample. Use the duration of that sample batch to estimate how long it will take to test files on your hardware.
To run a comparison using the Upgrade Assistant:
- In the Upgrade Assistant dialog box, enter a Task title and select the Earlier version of SOLIDWORKS from the drop-down list to test against the latest version of SOLIDWORKS that you have installed.
- Under Task files or folders, click Add File or Add Folder and select the SOLIDWORKS documents to test.
-
Under Task schedule,
specify how often you want to run the test and the Start
time and Start date.
- Click Options to include configurations and create a zip archive of the failed files.
You can send the zip archive to your reseller to share the results of the test.
- Click Advanced to choose a working folder for the test files, and set a time out period for renderings and animation tasks. You can also specify to back up test files.
- In the Upgrade Assistant dialog box, click Finish to run the comparison test.
