Important Upgrade Information

If you are upgrading from a prior version, there are major changes that will affect how you use ExtendSim now and in the future.

	New libraries and features replace “legacy”* libraries.
	Item library replaces BPR, Discrete Event, and Mfg (Manufacturing) libraries. Value library replaces Generic library. Rate library replaces Flow library. Animation 2D-3D library replaces Animation library. Built-in features in ExtendSim, as well as in the Item and Value libraries, replace Items (DB) and SDI Tools libraries. See the “v6 to v7 Equivalents” file located at ExtendSim7\Documentation for a list of each legacy block and the corresponding new block or feature. All the legacy libraries are in the folder \Libraries\Legacy. The legacy libraries allow you to run models built in previous versions. But the legacy libraries are no longer being supported and will not be available in future versions of ExtendSim. Use of legacy libraries should be avoided, especially when creating new models.
	ExtendSim Databases replace the Industry database that was included in Extend Suite and Extend Industry.
	The Industry database is furnished with ExtendSim so that you can run old models. However the Industry DB is no longer supported and will not be available in future versions of ExtendSim. Use of the Industry DB should be avoided, especially when creating new models. So that you don’t lose any stored data, an ExtendSim Database can import an exported Industry database file.
	ExtendSim Suite includes 3D animation.
	If you previously used Extend Suite 6, Proof Animation is included in your ExtendSim Suite upgrade. Proof Animation will NOT be automatically included in new (non-upgrade) purchases of ExtendSim Suite. Instead, it can be purchased separately.
	ExtendSim 7 can read Extend 6 and 5 libraries (including the legacy* libraries), as well as the models you built in 6 or 5. However:
	Because of extensive architectural changes, there is no automatic method to cause older models to substitute blocks in the new libraries for those in the legacy libraries, or to substitute an ExtendSim database for the Industry database. Models and libraries that have been saved in ExtendSim 7 cannot be read by older versions.
	When building models, you can combine blocks from the new ExtendSim libraries (Item, Rate, and Value) with blocks from the legacy libraries. However:
	You cannot connect blocks from the (new) Rate library to (legacy) Flow library blocks. It is preferred that you build models using just the new ExtendSim libraries - avoid using the legacy libraries when creating new models.
	Extend 6 products (Extend CP, Extend OR, Extend Industry, and Extend Suite) will be available for purchase for one year after the release of ExtendSim 7. The v6 prices are the same as for v7.
	The User Guide and Developer Reference have been rewritten.
	See the ExtendSim command Help > What’s New or go to the New Features page for a description of all the new features in ExtendSim 7.

*The "legacy" libraries are: Animation, BPR, Discrete Event, Flow, Generic, Items (DB), Manufacturing, QuickBlocks, and SDI Tools.
