compatible rescue sw 2010 2011

[nicolapastena]

I sw 2011 I have to pass files to a friend who has sw 2010 but in the current format does not make them open, how do I do to make compatible the 2011 format on 2010? I saw when saved but nn allows me to define the compatibility of the versions.
thanks in advance

for what I know with the old versions was not possible:http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/showthread.php?t=4061&page=2...but with 2011 something has changed, though I doubt.
still expects an expert opinion.

you must use an interchange format, step or preferably parasolid, with all the problems that it entails.

confirmation, interchange file. has never existed retrocompatibility in swx

Every now and then she's asking. said and laughed.non it is possible to "save back", with no cad (now do not pull me out autocad:biggrin!
interchange files, and for swx the most "hinder" is parasolid. of course you have no "history"; are all "corpi" (stupids, dead) imported.

Do you still believe in a future not too far that compatibility is possible or just will be excluded a priori?

apart from what we can believe is absolutely irrelevant and with no foundation:biggrin:
However, no, I think there will be no compatibility. the software houses have no interest in operating in this sense.. indeed, it is the exact opposite; otherwise the new versions/licences who would buy them more?

Clear! !
Can you take me out of curiosity? I guess you work for different customers so you have multiple versions installed simultaneously(e.g. 2010 2011)?
Is there a limit of versions that you can keep together or all those you bought you keep on your pc?
Hi!

No. I am dependent and my company "work for itself" (we design and manufacture our stuff), so below this point of view we do not have "wins" of programs and versions... I might well draw with acad 11 on dos as on the tecnigraph :biggrin:. if we have to use external collaborations (almost successful so far) will be the supplier to worry about the appropriate standard; I just need to have proper construction boards.

the first time you buy a program (or better its license) and for that year (12 months) you are fine, you have the guaranteed updates that will come out at that time. usually in that period you can catch at least 2 versions (maybe the second not with all updates as the last could have come out after the expiration of your 12 months).. I'm talking about swx I know.. .
if after that year continue (paying a canon) with subscrition (maintenance contract) then you can all years download new versions (always if you pay the canon every year).
with swx you can hold on the same machine the current version and a previous one with the same license (licence that is connected to the machine on which it is installed).

I hope I've been clear.

I would be curious to know how to manage an archive of drawings created with successive versions of solidworks or in general of a cad 3d.
if a technical office decides to keep the licenses up to date means that after a certain number of years it will have an archive with models of different versions.
should all versions be installed on each pc?
every designer before opening a design must ask himself with what version was created or is this choice managed by a management?
but especially if I have to make a machine from groups created with different versions as I do?

...maybe it was better to open a new discussion

It is not as you say, incompatibility is for the old releases, the new ones read all the previous formats (apart from a clamorous case success in the past on which a software note played a nice piece of market).

All right, all right!
Thank you!

the new versions open, read and edit everything done with the previous ones (it is the opposite that it is not possible); to save automatically convert everything to new version.
Of course all the machines of the same office (network same) must be updated to the same version, otherwise for the "old" all the files would become unusable.

already said in the past, but I repeat... I don't think it's just bad will but real problems.
if a model uses new functions how would you see the effect of these functions on a cad that does not have this potential? Do you know the number of problems that would chain up on models? by force of things it is necessary to cut with the past, at least for cad feature based.
an explicit one that is only interested in geometry is another soup, but as already faced in kilometers discussions between parametric and explicit there are pros and cons and they must be evaluated according to their type of design and form minds.
