Spectrum-Design Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 So I have a desktop PC in the office and a laptop PC I use with Cheif at home. The desktop was able to handle the x9 upgrade with no problem. The laptop, unfortunately, doesn't have the graphic requirements to run x9 properly. I can open plans, but can't see any views. I know that when I saved files after opening them in x9 for the first time, it told me those files would not be able to be opened in previous versions anymore. I know that a version is saved to my archive for the older version as well. My question though, is about opening a file in x9 and saving it down to be compatible with previous versions. Every other drafting program I've used would allow me to save down a version (like AutoCad 2013 could save as an AutoCad 2010 file). Is this not a possibility with CA?

I am so glad CA spends their resources moving forward vs. trying to make their program backwards compatible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 CA's model are far more complex than line drawings in Autocad Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 You can always copy any plans forward ,so you can keep an old plan unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
