Saving down to PC9
I had a disastrous crash due to an out of memory condition on the 2016 powerbook that I must keep to use PC9. When I fixed the problem I lost an entire section and elevation file. I found a recent copy on the new powerbook that I have (and on which I am beta testing PC10). I thought I could save it over to the old machine through dropbox, but it doesn't let me save down to PC9.
Is there a solution for this?

Re: Saving down to PC9
Can't you open the file in PC10 and do a "save as" and select PC9 as the file type? I just ran a test and was able to do so, and was able to open the new file in PC9.

1. There is no "Save As". I can Save, with the three dots, which basically turns it into a Save As, but the dropdown option for file version only shows powerCADD 10. There is no PowerCADD 9 option.
Re: Saving down to PC9
Save As... should be in the File menu immediately below Save...
If that is not appearing you might want to try deleting PowerCADD 10 and re-installing the latest beta from the link sent to you by AutoDesSys.

Yeah, I don't have that option, and I just reloaded the update I received on September 6th. build #2193

Re: Saving down to PC9
Your File menu is missing a few options.
Try deleting the preferences file:
com.engsw.PowerCADD10.plist.
If that doesn't fix it you'll have to contact them and report it as a bug.

Or maybe you don't have the latest build?

To Derek: I couldn't find the preferences file. I checked in the preferences folder but it wasn't there (Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences). I don't know where else to check for it. Maybe it's missing?
To Patrick: I have requested the latest build.
Sorry to be a pain, but I know the answer is out there.

Re: Saving down to PC9
I just received an updated build, and it allowed me to save down to PC9.
Thanks.

Re: Saving down to PC9
I'm glad you got it sorted. For future reference your preferences are in your User library:
[Hard Drive]>Users>[user name]>Library>Preferences
However this Library folder can be hidden so to open it from the Finder use the Go menu and hold down the Option Key.
