Shawn51 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi, I have the old version Pl file that I need to be open by primaries software that needs to be modify in default setting (plan) to be allowed to be edit and saved so I can reopen it in Home Designer pro to continue my work. I appreciate any one can help. Please let me know so I can send the file and steps. Thank you, Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Note the Link to the X8 viewer in this KB Article in the Green Shaded area. Once the file is opened in the X8 Viewer save it and it will convert it to the new File type for you. YMMV though as if you only have the pl-1 file, the others maybe missing. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00279/opening-legacy-files.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn51 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi Kbird1, thanks for the reply. I did do that and saved and reopened it but I am not able to edit it. Tech support told me the only way ca be done it needs to be open in Primer version and change the default setting. Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Why not post the .plan file here and see what we can do for you. Lots of good things happen here that you can not buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Give this a try. There were quite a few electrical library items missing that will likely need replacing. White Rd FIRST F.PLAN1 Chopped.plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
