Converting TPD3 files to TPD4
TPDesign4 is backward-compatible with TPDesign3. However, project files that were created in
TPDesign3 must be converted in order to be compatible with TPDesign4, for use with G4 panels.
Using the TPD Conversion Wizard
TPDesign4 includes a TPD Conversion Wizard tool that makes it easy to convert your existing
TPDesign3 files for use with TPDesign4. The TPD Conversion Wizard steps you through the conversion
process in three dialogs:
1.
Step 1 of 3 (Select Source and Destination) : In the first dialog, select the TPD3 project file that
you want to convert (use the browse button to navigate to the desired file, via the Open dialog).
Then click the down arrows next to
Panel Type and Resolution to specify the target G4 panel for the
project file. If you selected a panel that supports multiple resolutions (i.e. NXP-TPI4), you can
specify the target resolution for the project. A description and image of the selected panel is
displayed. Click
Next to proceed.
2.
Step 2 of 3 (View Warnings and Substitute Fonts) : The second dialog in the wizard contains two
read-only text fields:
The Pre-Conversion Warnings list box alerts you to any possible conflicts that will exist in the
selected file, once the conversion process is applied. For example, if the target panel/
resolution differs from the original target of the TPDesign3 file, you will see a Pre-Conversion
warning message indicating that scaling will occur. The conversion wizard handles most of
these issues for you automatically.
The lower list box indicates any fonts that were specified in the original TPDesign3 file, but
that are not available to TPDesign4 (i.e. are not currently installed on your PC). For each
unmatched font listed, you can select a substitute font to use instead. If all fonts used in the
original file are still available, the message "No unmatched fonts" is displayed.
You don't have to actually open a page to copy it: simply select the desired page with
a single click in the Workspace Navigator window and copy the page.
