Custom tab in the Summary
Information dialog box. |
A model from an earlier version of SOLIDWORKS is automatically converted to
the newer version of SOLIDWORKS when you save it. You cannot do a save as to an
earlier version, and you cannot open the newer version with an older version of
SOLIDWORKS, with one exception. You can open part and assembly files in read-only
mode in Service Pack 5 of the previous release.
