Save the entire vault in 2014 version to 2016

Hello

Recently we went from solidworks and EPDM safe 2014 to 2016. I realized that the files I re-save in the 2016 version (by opening them in solidworks and re-saving them in the 2016 version) are about 2/3 lighter (for example a file at 140/150 kb in 2014 goes to 40/45 kb in 2016).

I would like to save space on our registration server, so my question is: is it possible to convert all the files in our EPDM to the 2016 version without having to open them one by one in solidworks (otherwise it will be long...)

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello

Yes it's possible, see this video :

You should find the following folder in the PDM installation:

Support>File Version upgrade

Be careful, this is a procedure that takes time (maybe even more than a day) and you have to make a backup of the trunk first!
