full conversion from standard edition to plus edition

Hi,

I'm a student and I'm using SW2001 at home and use SW2001 PLUS education edition in the department. (I know its not the newest software out there). I am very anxious on porting my files to my computer at home as it is so much more convenient. However, it seems as though SW2001 PLUS does not allow for saving as an older version. I have read other posts on this board and the only solutions are saving the files as file types which do not preserve features.

Is there any solution to bring my files from 2001 Plus over to 2001 without losing features etc? Maybe 3rd party software? Are the two versions really that fundamentally different that this is impossible?

Would really appreciate some help thanks!

Well if you read the posts you would have realized that this is not possible and probably never will be.

Most of us here are using SW2004 and this capability is still not present.

So if you want to use your SW01+ model in your SW2001. You will have to Parasolid it out and back in. You will lose your feature tree.

I seen this converter at SWWC 2004 and it's not any good than simply parasoliding out and back in. You save the file out as 3ds bring it back in and it tries "and I do stress the word tries", to rebuild the part. If it's the basic stuff it makes it. If it's new functionality then it becomes a imported body. So I guess it works for the basic stuff, but how many of us just build basic parts?
