How to save Archicad to the previous version?
I have a trial version of Archicad 26 and I need to save a file of it to a previous version. I searched all over the internet to find a way, but there is no ARCHICAD 25 Project option in the save format list dialog
The method you know:
Project (.pln) in the format of the latest version of Archicad
Archicad 26 can save project files only in Archicad 25 format (among all previous Archicad formats).
To reverse save:
1. Activate the menu command File > Save as...
2. In the opened Save dialog box, select the Archicad 22 Project option from the Format drop-down list.

Might be disabled in the trial version.

Maybe it's because of the trial version. You need a commercial license (perpetual or subscription).

You can only back save one version at a time so from AC26 to 25 or 25 to 24. I don’t believe the feature of back saving is available in the trial version of AC 26.
