Hi folks,
    I am looking for someone who may have a current version of Autocad that may be willing to "convert" a DWG file back to R14. The file is small at 314k. It is of a house that a friend of mine is building here in the Dominican Republic. I am wanting to add / modify the electrical design to the house however cannot open the file (incompatable with my release). If you send me an email I will forward the drawing to you. THANKS!
    If I have posted this inappropiately, or in the wrong place, accept my appologies in advance.
Respectfully,
Ken Williams

Every version of  AutoCAD up R14 can convert files  in R14 enough save as R12.

No need, Autodesk has an application, Autodesk DWG Trueview, which you can freely download and use to create an older file format, see here for more info :  http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=4706 - http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=4706

Hey,
There have been some good responses to your question that will work. If you still don't understand, my profile has my e-mail address and I will convert the file for you.
Hope that helps,
nameci
