Ummm .. someone forgot to include Save As>ArchiCAD 9 Project in ArchiCAD 10 AUS Mactel

I know its there in AC10 WinXP (see Parallels screenshot attached) and PPC (old office) but its just not there in Mactel

Has anyone else noticed this? Assuming its not by design ..

OK well i have a response which was essentially its intentional, there are 'technical problems' with fixing this and as there is a workaround (i.e open the file on a Win/PPC machine and save back to v9) it probably won't get any attention. Probably true but wrong answer.

Backwards save compatibility to previous versions in ALL current versions is essential!

It is by design.

AC10 backwards compatibility is poor. Why not AC 8.1, since 8 is very similar to 9 as features and "engine" goes. ArchiCAD use to be two to three version backwards compatible - save as wise !
