Manual Fix for Inventor 2019 Styles Library Manager Migration Issue

As you may or may not know, when you try an migrate Inventor 2018 Design Data (Styles) to 2019 using the Inventor 2019 Style Library Manager the process would not finish.  The “Migrate” icon at the bottom of the dialog box would never go out.  This would mean you could not use the Style Manager to edit the styles library in any way. 

 
They have released a “Manual” method of fixing this which is very simple.  They are working on a more formal update later.  The process is:

  1. Migrate your Styles library to 2019 using the Inventor 2019 Style Library Manager as you would normally do.
  2. Exit the Style Library Manager.
  3. Using your favorite text editor, modify the “Weld.xml” file in the Design Data folder to the match the following screen capture.  Change the <Weld Version=”1”>  to <Weld Version=”3”> as shown. 



After the change you can use the Inventor 2019 Styles Library Manager to modify the styles as required.
