It's saveas from 25 to 24.
Does the GDL generated in 25 not go to 24?

the last version of the LP_XML_Converter on Windows was for Archicad 13.
There I created in the main folder where the Converter is located, 1 folder named "gdl", one folder named "xml". In the main folder I aditionally placed 2 file links.
Put the gdl file in the gdl folder and run the file link "... gdl2xml" not by double click, but by rightclick and run as admin.
GDL to XML goes visa verce.
An example file structure you can download here:

I think only if the objects are located in the 'Embedded Library'.
I f you have a loaded library (folder) and the library parts were created in 25, then 24 will not be able to read those parts.
You have to load a library that was created in 24.
That is why each Archicad version has its own library.
Objects are just like files, new Archicad can read old objects and file, old Archicad can not read new objects and files.

Is there any way to change 25 GDL to 24 GDL all at once?

Yes, with the so called LP_XML_Converter it is possible.

Can you give me a little explanation?
Will it be possible if I interpret all the pages?

Are you using MAC oder Windows?
By the way, it is possible to put the Library in the embedded library, as Barry wrote, save as Version 24, and then extract from the embedded library to your machine again.
XML_Converter is much more complicated.

"it is possible to put the Library in the embedded library,"
Is there a way to put them all together?
I am trying to learn XML_Converter .
If you can, please give me a little explanation.
I am a beginner who wants to learn how to fish. ^^

Yes, I tried it on MAC:
Drag the complete Library (all folders) into the Library Manager, where you have choosen "Embedded Library". Your library must not include files with ending "lcf", which must be unpacked first.
Then you can use the objects in 25, but also save as 24, where objects saved in 25 can be used, because they where converted.
About the LP_XML_Converter I will write later, because I use MAC since 2008 and the routines on WIndows differ a lot.
Note: If the objects created in AC 25 include GDL commands, that did not exist in AC 24, they might not work in 24.

It's such a simple way... ^^
Since Archicad is mac-based, it is often handled in a way that I did not think of, starting from autocad.
I'm looking for a command, but mac is handled by how to use it!
thank you
