Saving down to PC9

[Lester Tobias]

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?

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.

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.
