RE: save as older version-hide planes
To hide all planes in v5.7 you can use the Search command.
Edit -> Search -> .Type (Select Planes) -> Click Search button -> Click Select button -> Click OK button
After that you have all planes selected and can hide or show all of them.
In v5.8 this operation is simpler because it has special menu to show or hide entities by type. And it requires only one operation.
Hope this help,
Igor
RE: save as older version-hide planes
But, when I do Save As, the only options I get are CATPart, igs, stp,model, etc. There is no option for older versions.
Am I looking in the wrong place ?
Thank you for any help

Save your Catia V5 part as a .model. Resulting file with extension .model has a native format of geometry for Catia V4. Then open the .model file with V4.22 and save it again.
In documentation for Catia v5.7 (V4 Integration) this operation is described more better.
