Tutorial, how to save an AutoCAD drawing to an older version

# Hello guys, welcome back. Today I’m going to tell you about how to save a drawing from AutoCAD to an older version of AutoCAD. Well this might looks simple and useless... but trust me, someone out there doesn’t have any idea how to do this and it makes everything complicated.
One example is my friend. So we are working together and paired as a group for an assignment. I told her to do the basic design and I’ll take care of the rest. She used an AutoCAD 2010 while I’m using the 2007 version. The 2010 version is able to open a 2007 .dwg file but the same rules doesn’t applied to the 2007 version which can’t open any .dwg files from later version.
So, how are we going to do it?
It’s pretty simple. What we have to do is just save it to an older version of AutoCAD through the save as command. And then in the save as window, there will be a drop-down option to select what format we kind of format we wanted to save. And fromm here just select the older AutoCAD version.
See? It’s simple... but it’s crucial. And to make things clear, I’ll give you a step-by-step pictures.


   





















Done! It’s super easy and it only took three pictures to explain the whole process. Oh, you have to rename the file too. In case you hide the extension of eccery file in your PC. Beside, renaming files will make it easier to notice which one is the older version and the which are the latest version. Hopefully this simple tutorial will help you someway... and I hope you didn’t stumble into the same problem as I did with my friend in my assignment. So yah... that’s it...see you next time everyone... bye!
