[Problem] Opening File from a Higher Release Software (CATIA)

[Problem] Opening File from a Higher Release Software (CATIA)

[Problem] Opening File from a Higher Release Software (CATIA)

(OP)
I keep getting this error message when I transfer drawings from work to home. When I try to open a file at home that I saved at work, I get the message.... "Wrong Application Level". I heard that the problem is because the computers at work run Catia V5R11, and that I run Catia V5R9. Which makes sense since I can run files at work that I create at home. Does anyone know of a translator for releases? Or Does anyone know if you can find release updates of Catia online?

RE: [Problem] Opening File from a Higher Release Software (CATIA)

CATIA itself has a CATBACK utility (it's called "Downward compatibility" or something like that).  It will work on CATParts, but not on CATProducts, CATDDrawings, or CATProcesses.
