File Upgrader will batch upgrade previous versions of
Revit files to the Revit 2013 format. The tool is intended to help upgrade
family contents, template files as well as project files. Every time users open
a Revit file which was saved in a previous version of Revit, a standard dialog
is displayed in the Revit user interface stating that the file is being
upgraded. During the display of this dialog, Revit tries to upgrade the document
to the current version. This slows down the process of opening a file. To save
time opening older file versions during each of the subsequent attempts to open
the file, users can manually open each of the Revit files and save it to the
current version. This can be time consuming if there is a large set of files to
upgrade across various folders and sub-folders. The File Upgrader tool saves
time and manual labor by automating this process. This plug-in was first
published as an ADN Plugin of the Month:
http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/ADN_plugins. The plug-in has been provided
with the complete source code needed to build the application, with the
intention of encouraging users of Autodesk software to use programming to tailor
the products they use to their specific business needs.
