Symbolt created in a new release of Creo

I am trying to open a custom weld symbol and I am receiving the following error:

   File G:\Engineering\PROE_DATA\A_A_Proengineer\fillet_2line.sym was created in a newer release of Creo Elements/Pro.

   Error reading symbol file. Symbol not retrieved.

I have Creo2 and Creo3 on my computer, but isolated.

As you can see, the symbol hasn't changed since 1/7/2013 and I used it up till a month ago. Any thoughts out there?

Thanks,

Dale

Open the symbol in notepad or some other text editor.  The version it was last saved in will be clearly displayed.

Not sure how this happened, but:

I'd try creating a new symbol in WF5 and copying that line from the WF5 symbol into the other symbol you are trying to use.  Make a copy first so you don't jack up the original.

Worst that can happen is that it'll corrupt the symbol and you're back where you started.
