Hi,

I have created an assembly in CREO 8.0. Is there any way to open that in older(7.0 / 6.0) version?

Short answer is no. Since inception Creo has been always forward compatible but never backward. A single exception existed briefly for a single release a long way back. I think it was R18 and R19.

 

As a workaround you can export the Creo 8 files in the Creo neutral file format and then you can open them in an older version. You will not have access the model history when using this technique.

Thank you for quick response. We have a floating licence and using creo 8.0
now. We want to downgrade to CREO 6.0. Could you please suggest how can we
do that?

Install Creo 6 and use the same license file you are using for Creo 8. This will enable the use of Creo 6 or 8. If you want 6 only then remove 8 and install 6.
