Introduction > Whats New > CADtools Ustn 2.4 release notes > CADtools Ustn 2.4 - Upgrading Microstation projects from XM to v8i

'Standard' project wokspaces setup using Example_PCF.txt

There is very little difference between v8i and XM for typical CADtools Project workspaces using a Project Config File (PCF) that has been created from the Example_PCF.txt.

All the Text, Dimension and Linestyle libraries are the same for XM and v8i.

i.e for Meters

MS_DGNLIBLIST = $(_CADTOOLS_COMMON)Dgnlib/TextDims/TextDimStyles_M.DgnLib

MS_LINFILELIST = $(_CADTOOLS_COMMON_DATA)DwgData/CADtools_m.lin

or for Millimeters

MS_DGNLIBLIST = $(_CADTOOLS_COMMON)Dgnlib/TextDims/TextDimStyles_mm.DgnLib

MS_LINFILELIST = $(_CADTOOLS_COMMON_DATA)DwgData/CADtools_mm.lin

Required changes

The only change required is to define the version of Microstation required for that project to be v8i.

This is achieved by adding the following line somewhere near the top of the project specific PCF, or by using the CADtools ProjectWizard
