Can I open files created in Autodesk Building Systems 2006 or earlier with Autodesk Building Systems 2007?
Yes, you can always open files created in previous version of Autodesk Building Systems. However, in order to deliver important new features sought by customers, the file format requires occasional updating. When a file format change is made the files saved to the latest version of AutoCAD and related products cannot be read by prior versions of the software. However, you can always save files in a format that is backward compatible with older versions of AutoCAD and related products. This is useful for people sharing files with others who haven’t upgraded recently and applies to the AutoCAD-based products Architectural Desktop and Autodesk Building Systems as well. Autodesk is committed to working with our customers to make sure that they benefit from the exciting new features in future releases while minimizing the inconvenience a file format change introduces.
