The symbol files from Objective Diagram version 1.0 are not automatically compatible with the symbol files in Objective Views. The CODSymbolConverter class takes care of reading in the old version 1.0 format and producing a symbol. All that is needed is the proper archive from which to load the symbol, and the new symbol will be made. If an error is encountered during the conversion, a CODConverterException is thrown. The symbol converter can be accessed in the Symbol Designer from the File|Import Symbol menu item.
