Saving to previous versions from CS5

Checked out the launch this morning and am definitely interested in stepping up to CS5 from CS3. However, I often need to exchange native files with vendors who I'm sure won't upgrade. Is it going to be possible to save or export back to CS3 from CS5 or will I need CS4 as a step in-between??

We won't go to CS5 if Adobe has decided not to do away with this workflow obstacle. The .inx system where a CS5 document has to be saved as an exchange document, which has to be opened in CS4 and saved as an exchange doc, which has to be opened in CS3 and saved as an exchange doc in order to open in CS2 is nuts. No reason to upgrade anyone if it means more of that.

Error saving for previous version 2009 to 8.5

I have a project with a VI containing DAQmx Data Acquisition VIs, timed loops and other standard conrols and indicators. When trying to save for previous version (from LV2009 to LV8.5) an error occurs. All of the dependencies can be saved to previous versions but the main VI cannot. Can anyone help with this problem?
The error message can be seen in the image attached.

Backsaving creates a folder structure with the backsaved VI and all support files in their relative locations. This might be useful in most cases.
Very often I just need a single VI (without SubVIs) backsaved. I do this programmatically using VI server (open VI reference, then call the "Save For Previous" method, then close the reference). See image below.
To do this for a project you could of course use a recursive file list and go through the whole list (programmatically), saving the VIs in a parallel folder structure (create destination folder before saving the VI).

LV2011 bug - Error wired to boolen function breaks when saving for previous version

I just downloaded LabVIEW 2011 this morning. I created this VI and saved it for LV2010 to see how it would deal with it. I opened the VI in LabVIEW 2010SP1 and the error wire is broken. There were no warnings about problems saving this VI as an earlier version.
=====================
LabVIEW 2012
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would not consider this to be a "bug".
I would call it rather an "incomplete feature" were the extra-mile (backwards compatibility) is not fully implemented. So filing a suggestion is really the best thing to do (i will not file one since it is your idea, but i will kudo it!).
Saving VIs to previous versions does not change the BD itself. The requested functionality would require BD analysis and inserting (per scripting) an unbundle into the error wire. This is a complete new functionality, at least i am not aware that this is happening anywhere else....
As a "part time solution" i would like to see a BD analyzer which warns you about possible issues during downconvert. So in your case an "errorlist entry" like:
Warning: Connecting the error cluster to boolean functions is a new feature to LV 2011. Saving for previous version will lead to a broken VI.
just my 5 cents,

Illustrator CC 2014 files saved as previous versions corrupt

On occasion we need to save Illustrator files as version 8.0 ai files and version 3.0 eps for customers with older software and to import into industry specific software for further work (CAD).
Illustrator CS6 works fine for these tasks. Using CC 2014 the save files are corrupt:
The file saves normally, no errors indicated. Trying to reopen the saved files results in the dialog above. The CC 2014 files reopen fine, the corruption happens to the files saved in previous versions. The files are fairly simple structural designs for the box industry, all basically straight lines, no placed graphics, minimal text for labels.
Mac OS Yosemite, CC 2014

Hi,
It is not possible to open the files in a previous version of Muse. It is not backward compatible.

Aish

Vi written in 8.0.1 saved as previous version can't open with 7.1

This vi is a modified version of the example Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample shipped with LV 8.0.1. I saved it for previous version, but it will not open in LV 7.1. I get error code 24, This vi cannot be loaded because it is broken and has no block diagram. Any ideas?

Collect Data.vi ‏143 KB

I was actually asking where the "Collect Data" VI came from. I know where the "Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample" comes from. As I indicated, I cannot seem to find "Collect Data" in the hierarchy for "Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample". As a test I opened LV 8.01., opened the "Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample", saved it for 7.1 and then opened it in 7.1 with no issues. So, I go back to my questions as to where "Collect Data" came from.
I guess I don't understand what you mean by where the "Collect Data" VI came from.
This is what I did:
I opened the example Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample in LV 8.0.1. I modified it to do what I needed, and I saved it as "Collect Data.vi". Then I copied it to the machine with LV 7.1 and attempted to build an exe. That is when I got the error.
Thanks for the tip about the app builder on OpenG. I will give it a try.

Improper Format error while saving for previous version

Hi all,
I have been developing some Daq code with LabView 8.5. Recently I needed to open the vi on a computer which has Labview 8. I used the save for previous version option. I used low-level vi's in my code which are both available to 8.5 and 8 instead of using new express vi's. LV warned me about converting fixed point numbers to double precision while saving, which in my opinion should not cause a problem.
I have also enabled "Show front panel when called" and "Show front panel when loaded" options from VI Properties dialog (as adviced by previous threads http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=369331).
However I was not able to solve the problem. Are there any suggestions to solve my problems?
Thanks.
Gokcen

I dont understand exactly what the problem is.
Have you used fixed point numbers in your code? and if so does it matter if LabVIEW converts them to DBL? If not then dont worry about it.
What problem do you have with the 'show front panel when called' as it isnt clear from your message.
Also, if you can post your problem code as it makes it easier for people to see the problem

Reading data saved on previous version of Labview

I've recently bit the bullet and upgraded to Labview 8.0 after using Labview 7.0 for a good few years now. I'm currently experiencing problems accessing data saved on the previous version of Labview which I've been working on until the upgrade.
An example is the waveform files saved on Labview 7.0 which I'm trying to read using Labview 8.0. A dialog box appears when I try to use Labview 8.0 to read the waveforms advising me to convert the files to the new version of Labview which I've duly agreed to. However, it appears that the conversion process has managed to corrupt the waveform files as I am unable to access it on either Labview 8.0 or 7.0.
I'm including a couple of files to highlight my point, one saved on Labview 7.0 and the other converted to Labview 8.0 by the programme.
Cheers.

HT201272 How to reinstall the previous version from new vesion

How to reinstall the previous vesion from new version?

Previous version of what ? If you mean iOS then downgrading it is not supported.
If you mean a particular app then have got the previous version of it anywhere ? If you have then you can delete the current version of it from your iPhone and computer's iTunes, then add the old version to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library and then sync it to your iPhone.

Saving file as cs4 from cs5 in Illustrator

I'm super-frustrated. I just upgraded to CS5 and now no one can read my files when I send them to them. Worse, I can't figure out how to save it as a legacy version of Illustrator (preferably CS4). I've done it before under the saveas dialog, but I don't see it there. I read in another forum to look under the Illustrator Options dialog, but I can't find THAT anywhere either. I'm on a Mac.
Please help!!!

I'm having an issue with legacy formats as well, but it's slightly different. Figured I would post it in here rather than starting a new thread for it.
I have 5 files, each with multiple layers, that were created in Illustrator CS5. The printer who I'm sending the files to is still working in Illustrator CS3, so I saved them to the CS3 legacy format, and sent him the files. He replied and said that he wasn't able to open them. So I tried to open them up in CS4 (which I still have installed on my machine alongside CS5), and I receive this error message on each of the files:
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? If I save the files in CS4 format and open them in CS4, I am able to open the files, but for some reason they lose their layers. Both problems are very frustrating, as I don't want to have to save my files as CS4 format, re-open them in CS4, rebuild the layers, and then save them as CS3 out of CS4.

Problems saving out a pdf from cs5

How to recover artwork saved outside the artboard from CS5?

To put it simply, I worked on some logo designs at home using CS6.
The next day at my friends office I opened the file up in CS5.
Now it read the Document as a PDF form (not sure why). I had 3 pages of Artwork that I had to open seperately.
I saved 2 of the Docs as new CS5 docs and cotinued working on my logo development on the original CS6 doc opened in CS5.
I continued to work off the original file outside the artboard parameters without 'saving as'.
I have spent 5 hours working on designs and kept saving the file until home time.
When I then tried to open the same file that had registered the save (time shown) and file size increased I was left with 1 Artboard and no surrounding designs.
I know illustrator very well however this process has stumped me.
I know my work is in there somewhere due to the file size and fonts it keeps asking for that I used outside the artboard.
Please help.

Thank guys. I know there was only a slim chance but I was hoping for a miracle.
Cheers

CS6 Photoshop asked do I want to load previous settings from CS5.5

How do I get all the features in CS6 back as when I installed it it asked did I want to load previous settings. As I didn't know what this ment I said yes, now I don't have things like the new perspective tool.
How do I reload these features?

Delete the preference file in your prefs folder. Provide system information and we'll tell you where.

Why has Firefox 4.0b10 deleted all previous versions from my computer?

Firefox 3.6.13 (I think it was, anyway) upgraded itself automatically and in doing so, my shortcut for Firefox 4.0b7 only opened as Firefox 3.6.13 after the upgrade. As a result, I went back to download Firefox 4.0 Beta and Firefox 4.0b10 downloaded, but my Firefox 3.6.13 is now gone. What gives?

You probably only lost the desktop shortcut to start the beta version and now that has happened again and you lost the shortcut to start Firefox 3.6.13.<br />
You will have to create a new desktop shortcut for the Firefox 3.6.13 version.<br />
You can probably do that via Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Firefox<br />
Make sure that you do not choose the Safe mode entry.
If that also gives the Firefox 4 beta version then go to the Firefox 3.6.13 program folder ("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\") and right-click the firefox.exe program.<br />
Windows probably hides the .exe file extension, so be sure to get the correct file (check the Properties).

With iTunes 11, how do I view all the comments I saved in previous versions

I think I must have been foolish to update to iTunes 11, reading everyone else's hassles.
For now, my trouble is perhaps simple: I used to rely on the old list view, and had entered several comments for the music I have imported into iTunes.
I cannot see how to get such a view back. I simply want to see all my comments, and ideally have all my albums just in a simple list.
The View>Column Browser looks like what I want but I cannot see how to get it enabled - it's grey.
I hope someone can help!
Reading all the posts on rolling back, I am sorry, it doesn't sound like something I would be up to doing
TIA for your help.

Sorry. Bit slow this evening. Somehow thought I'd tried everything - but not "Songs".
Sorted.
