PDM Exportfile Converter

"PDM Exportfile Converter" dialog box

In the "PDM Exportfile Converter" dialog, you can convert export files from older PDM versions,
enabling them to be imported into PDM again.
The export files from PDM versions V6.x and V7.x cannot be imported directly into PDM V8.
To enable importing of existing export files, the "old" export files are converted.
A structure file is generated in this process and stored along with the associated parameter
import files in the corresponding subdirectory generated by the converter. These files can then
be imported.
Source-File
Navigate to the desired directory in the file system containing the export files to be converted.
After the dialog is closed with OK and an export file is correctly selected, the structure it contains
is displayed in the converter.
Destination-Dir
Navigate to the desired directory in the file system where the converted files are to be stored.
"Convert" button
Click "Convert". The selected source file is converted.
