custom material database 04 to 05

custom material database 04 to 05

(OP)
I've got a custom material db that works in 04 4.1  I can add materials and everything works fine.  We are in the process of going to 05 3.0  I've tried using that db in 05 and I get a duplicate material name.  Has anyone seen this or provide something to try to fix it.  I've noticed that the conversion wizard doesn't seem to convert anything other than parts, assemblies, and drawings.

RE: custom material database 04 to 05

That's true the Conversion wizard is for just parts, assemblies and Drawings... because they are the only files that need updated.

Just copy you DB over into the new location of SW05 materials location. be sure your SW05 file locations is looking at the right file.

I've got the db in the correct location. . . . .
I got it to work.  I still don't know why I was getting that error though.  What I did was edited the file in Notepad and deleted the dup's and resaved it.  I had another guy test it and it worked for him.
