From: john gaskell on 7 Apr 2006 03:53 Hi, The problem I have is that I work on SW2006 and have SW2005 at home. I know that 2005 cant read 2006 files. Are there any ways that I can read a 2006 model with my 2005 version. I know if I convert them to iges or step. But I want to continue to edit the model. So editing the designtree is crucial.

I know SolidWorks is alot more complicated than Excel or Word, but at least an older version of Excel/Word allows you to open newer files. If the document has a feature that is not supported by the older version, then it should tell you its not possible to open. SolidWorks doesnt even try to do this. If I make a simple flat sheetmetal part with 1 hole in it, why cant I open it in an older version. Im not using any fancy features. If anything, it should at least give you the option to convert it to a solid or other file format (When openinig the file) |
