how convert file from ideas 12 nx to ideas 8

how convert file from ideas 12 nx to ideas 8

how convert file from ideas 12 nx to ideas 8

(OP)
I have a huge problem. I have a file in I-deas 12 nx and I want to transfer/open to ideas 8. is this possible?
 

RE: how convert file from ideas 12 nx to ideas 8

Nope    What type of file is it?  

The only thing you can do is make it a step or iges file and then import that into I-Deas 8.

(OP)
thanks for your answer but I would keep the history of the part!!! are you imagine something else?

RE: how convert file from ideas 12 nx to ideas 8

Well if it is a Universal File one may be lucky and get that file to import into I-Deas 8.  Very Un likely but maybe.  

If it is a package file I think you may be out of luck.  I-Deas 8 is a very old version of I-Deas.  

Keeping the history Will be very unlikely. SOrry finding a way to do this will be very tough.  There is so many new features between 8 and 12 how is 8 going to read the new type features that the part has in 12.   

RE: how convert file from ideas 12 nx to ideas 8

I see in Tweleve you can convert a file back to I-Deas 10.  I know this probably does not help you but I thought I would mention it.
