PowerDraw 3 translation

Yesterday I got a call from a past client (1990) who wants to add on to his house. My files, which I did not bring along into the future, are PowerDraw 3, which I cannot open with the current PowerCADD. Is there any way to translate them into a form I can open?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

I’ve put Mike in touch with a user in North Carolina who is running PowerCADD 6 on a G5 PowerMac. He said he would be happy to help. Certainly PowerCADD 6 should be able to open those files.

I have PC 7 running on a 2006 24" iMac for my older files if that might work. Frank

Sheesh!
That was back when it was a revolution to have color icons for the tools!
I remember there were fierce battles over those things.

Hello PowerCADD users in a similar situation as MCharek.
Was a PowerDRAW 1990s and PowerCADD user up thru the early 2000s.
have a house addition and base drawings that are probably in PC6.
My Architectural path took me away from the Engineered software products and my Macs have been updated beyond the ability to reinstall PC6.
Have six base files that need translated to a dwg format.
Is there a current user that can help me with the translation?
Also was a contributor to the drawing room in the previous days.
