Need help converting new objects into old ones...

I need to share electrical symbols (2d objects) created in 8.1 with a colleague who still uses 6.5. Is there a way to convert them back to this older version, so they can be used in ArchiCAD?

1. place all on the plan, explode, save as 6.5, open 6.5, redefine the objects

2. Open 8.1 and 6.5 at the same time, open one by one object, copy the scripts and symbols from one to another.

No automatic way, sorry ... maybe an API idea?
