Update All Connectors and Materials from Profiles
« on: Nov 14, 2025, 16:30:47 PM »
Does anyone know if there is a way to align all the materials and connectors across the database profiles to the latest version?

You can take the most up to date copy of the connectr.map and material.map files and copy them to the other profile folders.

As Kyle mentioned above, you can also version up the connectors and materials. This doesn't get updated in the profile until you use an item in the profile but this will update the both material and connectors.

Copying over the files will be the quickest.

copying the material.map can sometimes mess things up. you can find you insulation can say "invalid" for gauge.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Let me clarify. I have numerous connectors and materials of varying version stretched across dozens of profiles. I would like to get the latest version of each and update every profile with the latest version.
