SE15 to SE14

[geo12]

Hi,
Is there any possible way to get or open SE 15 Drawings (.dft) into SE 14 without loosing its parameters.

Thanks

No. SE, like other CAD packages, is not reverse compatible. All you can do is what you don't want, translate the v15 model into a neutral format, such as parasolid, and open it up it v14 to get a featureless solid.

Thanks Scott,

How about the drawing?.
Is there any way to save only the drawing to another format.
so that I can open it in SE 14.

Thank you once again.

geo12,

You can save the draft file as dwg, dxf or igs format, you’ll only get a 2D file and loose all its 3D features.
I’d prefer swertel's solution.
You can import the model as a single body feature or use Feature Recognition on the body feature to generate a feature tree which can be further edited.
Please read the online help on Feature Recognition for further details. There are also some helpful tutorials.
