Re-word the Upgrade dialog to include that the file will also be 'aligned' to the product.

Create a button/command that creates a linked 3D model associated with the active 2D model

When we create a new file we often start with a 2D seed with only one 2D model in it. We often would like to have a linked 3D model associated with that 2D model. It would be great to have a simple button that force creates the linked 3D model.
