Re: Version compatability

Thanks jg and all who responded.  I tried saving the drawing to dwg2000,
and 
you were right it opened right up, but responded very slowly on my version

of 3.3.  But after saving it using the old version, then opening it up
again 
it worked perfectly.
So I open it then save it to hard drive on old pc, then immediately open
it 
again and works perfect.
Again many thanks.
