How to use sub-insert library Legacy data from NX1953?

Solution

Step 1: In NX1973, create a folder \moldWizard\standard\metric\insert
Step 2 : copy the old file subinsert_reg.xlsx from NX1926 Or older version to the folder created above \moldWizard\standard\metric\insert.
Step 3:  In \moldwizard\standard\metric\insert, create the register file moldwizard_catalog.txt, it should include following content:
!
! Standard part register file
!
INSERT          /standard/metric/insert/subinsert_reg.xlsx::INSERT_MM
Step 4. Modify two-part attributes for the part *******.prt, change MW_COMPONENT_TYPE from 9 to 2, and change the value of UM_STD_LIB_NAME from 'MW Insert Library' to 'MW Standard Part Library'.
