Migration of a total design from OrCAD 10.3 to 17.2

Hello,

   We have recently addopted OrCAD PCB Designer (17.2). Previous designs were done in OrCAD 10.3 (capture and layout). I have seen examples on how to convert a .MAX file to a .BRD file, but I haven't been able to find a tutorial on how to migrate an entire design so I can mod it in 17.2. Does this exist? I am curious about updating a .DSN file tied to the new .BRD file. Where are the symbols/footprints located that are now associated with the new .BRD file? How can I get the intertool communications setup between the old .DSN and the newly imported .BRD file? I have been able to do a new design from scratch with the new toolset, but a complete design migration has been difficult at best. Thanks in advance for any guidance here.
