"Corrupt XML" when trying to import Properties from v20 to v22

Hello All,

Should I be expecting that custom Properties cannot be imported from an older version of ArchiCAD?

I keep getting the same error message when exporting from v20 8005 and then importing into v22 3006, about a corrupt XML file (import fails).

Thank you,

OK, I resolved the problem by opening the source project in v22 and then exported those same properties from there. It appears that v22 has more advanced export/import engine with more options. This worked nicely.

Note: after import, add Custom Classifications from the newer version to your older Properties (if needed).
