Thank you for your continued interest in Next Design.

The DB format used for saving project data will no longer be supported in the next major version of Next Design V5.

Therefore, customers who are currently using the DB format need to migrate to V5 before the version upgrade is applied in order to continue using the DB format.
(Customers can continue to use V4 even after V5 is released. Migration can be done at any time by the customer.)

Below is a step-by-step guide to the migration process.

Migration Procedures

Specific migration procedures are listed on the next page.

• Migration procedure from DB format (*.iproj) to JSON format (*.nproj)
