How many versions back can you open files in ArchiCAD 17? We have files all the way back to 6.5!

ChrisC:

In addition to Eduardo's advice, you can still run older versions of ArchiCAD to open old files. How old depends on your operating system.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
