Hello,

Is it possible to save a plan from Archicad 11 to open in Archicad 9?


Using a Mac PowerPC version

Thanks

No. AC 11 PPC only allows saving as AC 10. So, you then need AC 10 to open the result and save as AC 9...

I just skipped from AC 9 to 11. They really should have made it save back at least until 9. No other way to do it?

Not that I know of. 11 can open 9 projects though.

concerning what things are 'lost' when you save an AC 10 project back to AC 9 as well. I'm not really sure why one would ever want to do that though...

Moving old projects forward from 9 and earlier to 10 and 11, you might want to look here:
