Question

I just completed an assignment. I did the work in ProE WF4. I just found out my customer is using ProE WF3. Is there anyway to translate the file back to WF3 so he can open them? Currently I have both versions loaded on my computer (WF3 and WF$.) When I select the ProE Icon it automatically opens WF4. How do I access the WF3 software in the future?

    Walter There has been several posts on going backwards and the short answer is not directly can you save to an earlier version. On your shortcut, you need to create a new icon (WF3) that targets the WF3 bin directory with the name of launch of Pro-E. I cannot say that the name is that it is pro-e.bat or ? Some people rename the start command during the installation. Eric

    I have had success with the GRANITE-based Cross-Release Interoperability for Pro/ENGINEER from the free downloads section. Your customer will not be able to modify features that you have created, however they will be able to open them in 3.0.
