Saving to older version?

[Darin]

I have done a search on this but want to make sure I am clear on this. I program for a company that uses X2. Was there any version say X4 or X5 that would be able to save the full Mastercam file to a older version like X2? I was told Mastercam has always only saved the geometry not any operations. Is this correct? Or was there a version that could save all to an older version? I need to know if I should install X2. I have X6 and X7.

 

 

Thanks

no version could ever save complete files with toolpaths back to earlier versions

X6x32 can save geometry back

X7 cannot save anything back as a Mastercam file

Great thanks gcode that is what I thought. They really just need to upgrade to X6. Will X2 work with W7 64 bit systems ok?
