Hertz, I have tried the update all versions. That was my first try. All files, all versions. Any other ideas? It's got to be something simple I am missing. Sooner or later I should get the DAH feeling.

Thad, I have been using .tooldb in X6 since December 2012. That is when the .tool-6 files got corrupted so I updated them to the .tooldb format and have not had any issues since. As I stated in my first post, I was able to convert these files before and now that I am going to X7, for some reason the update folder is not working on the .tooldb files. All other files converted fine.

Tony, I have tried many combinations of update folder (even the one you show) and the only ones that get updated are the .tools-6 files. The .tooldb files do not up date. The only thing I got from my reseller is to move the files to my desktop and use update folder and save the new files where I want them. It did save them where I wanted them but they were not updated. Hertz, these files I am trying to convert are the ones I use in X6. Hopefully someone will have the answer on Monday. If all else fails, I can open and edit each one individually from inside mastercam since I found that that will work. Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the reply Tony. My files in X6 are .tooldb. When I use the update folder option, the file dates do not change and when I try to open them with the tool manager, I get the following error message. "DATABASE VERSIONING ERROR--Database selected is at an earlier version of .tooldb! Update selected database by opening in Mastercam." I got one .tooldb file to open in the tool manager by opening X7 selecting a machine type then in the operations manager under properties files tool library open (I selected one .tooldb) then selected edit then selected the green check mark then I could open it in the tool manger. I have several tool libraries. Is there an easier way of converting these files?

My question is, how do you convert .tooldb files from X6 to X7?

I am finally updating from X6 to X7. I have all my files updated except for my tool libraries (.tooldb). When I run update folder to update the tool libraries the small window opens up in the lower right corner then closes. The files did not get updated. I was able to do this with X7 SP1 but then was told to hold off on the upgrade. I now need to have everything updated to X7 by the first of the year. I uninstalled X7 then did a fresh install of X7 MU1 with the hotfix.

We only have 32bit also. I have been told that I need verisurf tools to import the GD&T from catia files.
