i can not open the model created in catia v5r19 into catia v5-6r2018. anyone knows how to open it?

should be okay if u open the data save in lower version... try to save again? in .catpart

Yes i saved as .catpart in catia v5r19 but when i share it to someone with catia v5-6r2018 student version he can not open it. even other saving formats also

what does the error message say when you try to open it?

1º-Go to Tools -> Utility in catia menu to open the “Batch Monitor” window and the double click DownwardCompatibility

2º-Double click on “Downward Compatibility” to open Downward Compatibility window. In Downward Compatibility, select the operation as “Convert” and also choose to which version you want to convert

Under “Document Selection” click on the directory icon to open the “File Selection” window.

3º-Under “Input Options” click on “Member” if you want to covert only specific file which will be selected by you , if you choose “All“, then you can covert all files under the folder which will be selected by you. And also if you wish use other options available in “File Selection” window according to your requirement.

You may choose target directory in which the output file will be located. Then click “OK” after choosing the file.

4º- The “Downward Compatibility” option can be used only if you have proper license setup. Hence set up the license by clicking on “License Setup” if you not have configured yet. Then click on “Run” to execute the operation.

Use the STEP interface, it's the easiest way.

it is solved now. thanks
