Cad64 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 You can't save your Max files down to an earlier version like you can in Autocad. Once a file is opened and saved in Max 2008, it will no longer be usable in earlier versions. One option would be to Export your model in .obj format and then Import it into the earlier version. Quoted excerpt from an article at CGSociety.org New versions of 3ds Max generally read .MAX files from previous versions but cannot save back to earlier file format. When opening a file saved in an older version of the software, the user will be informed of obsolete data present in the scene and will be prompted to resave the file. It is a good idea to save under a new name to preserve the older file just in case. Quote
