I search for something in the library, it comes pack with something, then I go to download the catalogue...and it says the catalog is unavailable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I run into any issues that you know of?? Thanks in advance Levina This is how I work when a new version is released: Download the new version (X17) and work on test projects in the new version to get used to it. Once I'm comfortable, I will start new client projects in the new version. Keep the previous version (X16) on my computer and finish up any ongoing projects. Just easier and safer to finish up ongoing projects in the version they were started in. Both X17 and X16 can live on your computer and you can work in either version. Just need to pay attention to which version you have open. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted Monday at 04:02 AM Share Posted Monday at 04:02 AM Just remember that once you save a file in X17 that you won't be able to open it back up in X16. X17 can read X16 files no problem but X16 can't read X17 files. Also, the new project management in X17 takes some time to get used to it. If you are really set in your ways and don't want to have to learn a new system, you can always turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric_S Posted Monday at 05:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:23 PM 6 hours ago, decorators3 said: ok thanks . that is helpful to know Hello, To clarify what @SHCanada2mentions, there was a problem during X17 Beta where catalogs could not be downloaded from the Library Browser. As far as I'm aware, this has been fixed for the majority of users, after they have signed out and back in again. If you're already signed in, and then browse catalogs from the Library Browser, the ones shown should be available for you to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear - yes you can still use X16 after installing and using X17, but any X16 files opened, and saved in X17 cannot then be opened again in X16.
