Importing old 8.0 ArchiCAD proyect to 12 version

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:24:54 GMT

I had some old ArchiCAD 8.0 proyects on my computer.
I'm trying ArchiCAD 12 now, and it seems it cannot open the old 8.0 proyects.
I don't see any option for import or something similar.
The program just says:
"Cannot read old document version (8.0)".

But now what?
Should be an import option..... right?

Open the version 8 file in AC10 or AC11, save it and open that file in AC12.

Here is a link with some related info:

... and AC 9.0 & 7.0 seem to available from here - http://www.graphisoft.com/support/archicad/downloads/Fileconverter.html

which will open files all the way from version 4.1 apparently!

(This was discussed here, if it's any use to anyone.)
