7.5 Converting 2001 or V7 Databases
If you are a user of Multisim 2001, Multisim 7 or Multicap 7, your User Database and
Corporate Database must be converted to Multicap 9 format if you wish to use those
components in Multicap 9.
Note If you are upgrading from Multisim 8, there is no need to convert these databases, as
the formatting of the V8 and V9 databases is the same. However, it is recommended
that you merge your existing V8
User Database and Corporate Database into Multicap
9 so that you have access to the components from these V8 databases. For details, see
“7.7 Merging Databases” on page 7-19.
Note The option to convert the
Master Database is not available, as a new Master Database is
loaded when you install Multicap 9.
To update your V6 (Multisim 2001) or V7 databases to Multicap 9:
1. Select
Tools/Database/Convert Database. The Convert Database dialog box appears.
2. In the
Type drop-down list select one of:
•
Convert DB V7 ==> V9 — converts V7 components to V9 format. (Default setting).
•
Convert DB V6 ==> V9 — converts V6 (Multisim 2001) components to V9 format.
The title bar of the dialog box changes to reflect your selection.

Select Source Database Names. The Select a Component Database Name dialog box
