Calypso 2019 vs Calypso 2014

[[Da...]]

Hi all,

 

I need to transfer several programs from Calypso 2019 to Calypso 2014. Changing the version or copying the inspection file is not working. One of my colleagues said he used Remote Desktop to connect to the Calypso 2014 PC, with Calypso 2014 open on his left screen and Calypso 2019 open on his right screen. He said he was able to copy the features from one program to the other.

However, it doesn’t work for me. Copy and paste doesn’t work in Calypso, although it does work for things like copying folders from one desktop to the other.

Have you ever done this? The rdpclip.exe process is running correctly on both computers.

Any ideas? Help?

Please ask your colleague to demonstrate what he claims he did. 😉

Because if I'm not very much mistaken, Calypso doesn't even use the clipboard when copying features and characteristics. Instead it creates an internal Smalltalk data structure in memory (an "ordered collection") to which it temporarily pushes the objects copied and from which it pastes them back to the same or a different inspection plan. However, this does only work within the currently running Calypso process. The data never leaves this environment and so can not be pasted in another process running on a different machine. 

Maybe your colleague was able to copy other things, like comments, PCM code or the like?

He has definitely done in the past just do not remember how. Definitely full program.

I have just managed to do it. You can literally open any new programs in old calypso.

Bei uns war mal ein Zeiss Techniker, der hat das auch gemacht.

Er ging dazu in den Ordner wo das Programm ist ,und ging in die Datei Version, dort hat er dann die Version so umbenannt, das sie zu der älteren Calypso Version gepasst hat. Wir haben das dann auch getestet, und es hat funktioniert, nur kamen öfters Artefakte zum Vorschein die sich in Unleserliche Texte Darstellte.

Wie gesagt nicht immer hat es reibungslos Funktioniert, aber man konnte ein Neueres Programm mit einer alten Calypso Version öffnen.

Viel spaß beim Testen, und wie immer Sicherheitskopie nicht vergessen.

No this is not the solution. My method works always. All you have to do it just delete the newer versions characteristics like caliper distance etc.

All you have to do is, for example, create a template program in Calypso 2014. Then open this template in Calypso 2023 and also open the program you want in a second window. Copy and paste the features and characteristics (no CAD model). You can’t copy any features from the newer version (for example, caliper distance, if it didn’t exist in the older version), and then save it.

The key point is that this old template must not have been run before. You can't open an existing old program—just create a fresh new template.
