UPward compatibility fails? (wrong application level error)

UPward compatibility fails? (wrong application level error)

UPward compatibility fails? (wrong application level error)

(OP)
Hi,

I have few files that are saved in V5R20 from school (education license).
I searched for "Minimal" and "Version" when opening the files in Notepad to be sure, as I saw from other forums.

My home version is V5R21.
I get the following messages in the "Incident report" window when I try to open the files at home:

Error: Can not open file ***.CATPart: Wrong application level.
Warning: File ***.CATPart has been created with an education license.

I read many forums saying that the error typically appears when trying downward compatibility. However, I try to open a V5R20 file in V5R21 and it still appears!!

Any idea how to solve this? Would be very appreciated! Thanks! :)

Fred

RE: UPward compatibility fails? (wrong application level error)

Hi,

You cannot open something done with educational license in a commercial product (at least in CATIA), doesn't matter the release. What you can do is to convert in a neutral format (igs for example), import in which commercial release you want, and recreate the part if you want something parametric (more work).

Regards
Fernando
