import a .caproj file into X16

[Gtomer]

Hello,

I am trying to import a .caproj file into my x16.

Internet yielded these instructions:

"To import a .caproj file (Chief Architect project file) in Chief Architect X16, navigate to File > Import > Import Project if an existing file is active.

If the Dashboard is active, use File > Import Project. Then, select the .caproj file and click Open"

 

However I dont seem to have these options in x16. There is no "import Project" on my Dash board File menu dropdown, nor under File>import in an open plan.

I suspect the one who generated the file upgraded to x17 as I have'nt received this file type before.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Thanks

You can't work with X17 files in older versions to best of my knowledge.

X16 doesn't accept those files only X17 does

Don't trust what the internet tells you.  Trust us. 

 

Project files are new in X17 so X16 doesn't even know what they are.  And even if you did try to export a plan file from X17, X16  still wouldn't be able to read it.  As far as I know, Chief has never been backward compatible and from what I have heard over the years they probably never will be.
