Upgrading Modelling Projects from Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 to the RC
If you had any modelling projects in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, and you’ve installed the RC, then you’ll need to apply the following upgrade tool to make those elements compatible with the RC. You will need to do this for:
- UML Model Elements and Diagrams
- UML Sequence Diagrams reverse engineered from code
- Architectural Layer diagrams
You will not need to apply this to Architecture Explorer DGML diagrams.
It’s an easy and quick process:
- Download the upgrade utility
- Install the utility
- Run the utility from the command line
I opened a command window in the default install location (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Corporation\Visual Studio 2010 Architecture Model Upgrade Tool on my 64 bit machine) and entered the following command line:
AtUpgrade.exe /upgrade /d:<full path to the root directory of the project to upgrade> /recursive
All done – it took a few seconds and it all works perfectly afterwards.
Cheers,
Giles
