Importing and Converting Materials in 2D Extractor

To preserve custom materials, you need to import them from a .mat file into the latest version of the user library.

Note:

The .mat extension shows up as a shortcut in the file browser.

To import these materials from previous versions, you must have at least one design loaded in the project window.

To translate custom materials to the latest version:

  1. Click 2D Extractor > Translate Material Database.

The Translate Legacy Material Database appears.

  1. Enter the name of the old database in the Legacy Material DB Name box. You can also click the ... button to locate the database.
  2. Enter a name for the new database in your current project in the User Material DB Name box.
  3. Click Translate.
