Got x8 viewer and tried it with x10 trial.  Works great.  Ready to buy.

Want to upgrade to CA x10, but am faced with problem of opening my projects created with CA 9.5

Does anyone know a method for converting these.  CA x10 will not open .pl plans.

Question -   You being an x10 user, can you tell me if projects designed using CA9.0/9.5 can be opened with x10.  I have had 9.0/9.5 for many years,  A crash left me with nothing and cannot reinstall in win 7.  All my projects, several hundred, are saved on memory sticks.  I am very interested at the asking price.  Pending projects are deadlining me for time.

Hi GerryT - Is the x9 still available.  Alaska_Son has recommended to me to move on to x10 and I value his opinion. He apparently knows you well and I am considering x8 through x10.  Need to justify expense first.

Is this still available?  I am not ready to buy yet, but am in the process of determining if I can justify the upgrade.

Thanks Kbird1 -

I was not aware of the Offering Forum.  Will check it out and I was suspicious of the YouTube offers.  You helped me decide.  CA offers file conversions? Should at the current price for x10.

Thanks to all again.  I will be better off now by heeding the advice.

Maybe I will try the free trial of x10, just to satisfy my indecision.  Thanks Alaskan_Son

All my projects are saved on memory sticks, and the plant where my machines(rollformers) are located has the 9.0/9.5 installed and working.

Thanks again.

Thanks guys. 

I have several hundred projects. Most are completed, but I would like to use as references.

I believe from what Alaskan_Son said, I am leaning toward x8.

Since I can not buy from CA, can someone comment on the downloads offered on YouTube?

Glennw -  They are .pl files.

I have win 7 pro and was running CA 9.5/9.0  Experienced crash and cannot reinstall CA 9.5  Decided best time to upgrade.

Want to upgrade from CA 9.5 to most recent version.  Read post stating that new versions such as x10 will not run projects designed with older version.  A  lot of money to spend with a bad result.

ls it really true?

Some posts stated x8 would be the best choice.  Of course CA will not sell you x8.
