Janet;
Yup we took the D-side (planner) and took out the 20 X 20 tube and covered it up with strip bays. We also took the prime realestate in the middle and put a 15 inch monitor for a computer read out device (what a waste of space). What we wound up doing is covering up part of the monitor with another strip bay so that we would have enough strips where we need them.

As to how we did it. For those who did it the chicken way (Ft. Worth did) we had someone on the old sector monitoring everything that the new sector was doing and kept up strips and such just incase something went wrong (lots of overtime). We then brought over sectors one at a time and took our time. As centers started cutting over and didn't hear any horror stories, they started to go big bang. We still had someone back at the old sector, but we brought over one whole area at a time...
