Following Changes made in Cross Section Symbols in V2008:

1) TR-CP-136556
Some cross-section symbols are missing parameters
Added missing formula for fillet radius between flange and web, r = k - tf. With
out this parameter, the radius value remains fixed and hence was being wrongly c
alculated. Following sections have been update with this change:
C
2L
T
2) DI-CP-142717
Update Closed CrossSection symbol with proper EdgeName d
efinition
Added EdgeName attribute on the edges of the closes profile sections. Without th
ese edge names, members placed with these sections will not be manufacturable. F
ollowing sections have been update with this change:
HSSC
HSSR
CS
Conversion Procedure:
During migration of existing models to V2008, if new cross-section symbols are f
ound in the symbol share during the synchronization step, members placed with th
ese sections will be updated. As this could be a time-consuming task and will pu
t approved member sin ToDoList, a middle tier migration command has been provide
d which will be automatically run during migration of existing models to V2008.
This command will update the existing models directly so that no members are upd
ated during synchronization. If a user uses old symbols during migration but cop
ies the new symbols to the symbol share at a later time, the command needs to be
run as a custom command to update the model database.
Progid: CrossSectionSymMTMC.UpdateSymSite
Please be aware that if the changes described in these cross-sections symbols ar
e deemed as required by the user, a manual update of the symbol definition in th
e model will be required. This can be triggered by opening the sym file in the S
ymbol2D editor and saving it to update that time-stamp of the cross-section sym
file. Synchronizing model with catalog should then update the existing symbol de
finitions in the model and the members using these symbols.
