You can specify a range. Also, when you run it you can either
overwrite your project or create a new project. Be sure to read the
manual, it tells how the conversions are done and the rules.

In my test program, it seemed to convert the zoom logic for buttons
ok. My problem was on any zoom on a text field or validation logic
after a text field, it just threw away the code. There may be other
problems as well, that's just the big one I noticed.
