If you mean for converting newer-version files to older versions, DWG TrueView is free, and can do that.  See >here<.]]> Mon, 15 Aug 2022 13:54:19 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=13713&PID=38313&title=downgrade-autocad-versions#38313 <![CDATA[Downgrade AutoCAD Versions : any free software autocad ? ]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=13713&PID=38312&title=downgrade-autocad-versions#38312 Author: rizal1

Open the drawings in DWG TrueView and do a "Save as" to the version of AutoCAD you are working in.

It's the same : try and do a "saveas" and choose the 2000 version.
Then to verify if it's OK open the downgraded file on a computer with only AutoCAD 2000 or :
Open it on your AutoCAD 2022, type F2 to read better the command line and it should be indicated : Opening of an AutoCAD 2000 file.
If it hasn't been downgraded correctly you should not be abble to open it with an AutoCAD 2000.

In fact if I remember well, the 2022 is in fact a 2018 anyway when saved, you should check in OPTIONS / Options and save.
