1. General
*************************************************************************

This patch can only be installed on an existing SystemDesk 3.0
installation (dSPACE Release 7.0).

################### Important Information ####################
If your project contains Selectors or Multi-Ports. These 
elements are not AUTOSAR compliant. Therefore they are no 
longer supported as of SystemDesk 3.1. You cannot open your 
project with SystemDesk 3.1 if it still contains Selectors 
or Multi-Ports. If you need advice on how to redesign your 
model, contact dSPACE Support.
