You need to install 2016SP1RU03 or higher before importing from the version you upgraded from. That roll-up will fix the issue with FDT_Root object. That object is used to carry a DTM Multiplexer object by which you can have a seperate HART line connection from Freelance Engineering to your HART devices. This has nothing to do with DTMs connected to devices on the PROFIBUS and was released only for certain projects in the past.

Thank you Dieter, seems installed CBF is not RU03, actually I couldn't this code. what I see in "About" menu is "2016 SP1 [10.3.9142] Pro" which I think is not the same version as you recommend to install. is it possible to download RU03 from any source of ABB website?

The bug is fixed in RU03 or higher. You should go for the latest roll-up which is RU04. After installation the version would read 10.3.9142.4. RU04 contains RU03 so you just need to install the RU04. You can get it from MyControl system if you have an Automation Sentinel contract or a Care agreement.

Hello Dieter,
following my question, I've got also an error when opening a project containing FDT. it give the error that FDT_ROOT version 1.002.000 is not installed or licensed, although it's been installed (higher version i.e. version 1.2.1 ). what can we do to remove this error? is installing and importing the project into RU04 will remove the error? I've attached the screen shot of the error page.
Thanks,
Sasha.

Is this a different project from the previous one? Which Freelance Version was this project created by? If it is a Freelance 2016, then no export should be needed. Simply copy the project file and try to open it in a F2016SP1 RU04 or higher version.

It's the same project. Actually I forgot to mention this error in the initial question. The same project with the same Freelance version.
if FDT 1.2.1 is already installed, Do I need to install FDT 1.002.000 as well? Is it possible?
