Every time a new version of the Diagrams application is released, drawings created in previous versions should be upgraded in order to make sure all their shapes support newly added functionalities. The upgrade is done automatically when a drawing is opened, however, it is possible to turn the automatic upgrade off by setting ‘Upgrade drawing on Open’ to False in Diagrams Options.

After a drawing is opened it is possible to force updating all shapes by calling Admin Tab > Upgrade > Upgrade Drawing. The function will traverse the shapes on the current drawing and upgrade the ones created in previous versions of the Diagrams application. The command will also recognize Tribon M3 shapes and upgrade them as well. The shapes that have a format that is not recognized will be ignored. Please note that the command Upgrade Drawing will update the shapes' formats only and will not create or delete any links between shapes and database elements.

However, the shapes upgraded before Cancel was clicked are not restored. If it is required to keep shapes in their original versions, the drawing should be closed without saving.
