SU 8 .SKP export to SU7 SU6
-
Hi, just noticed that a save as version 7 doesn't work when trying to open SU7. If I save as version 6 instead it works.
Another problem is if I save a version 6 or 7 and then use the normal SAVE the file gets overwritten as Version 8 again. PC SU pro version on Windows 7.

By default a 'save' in any version of Sketchup always takes the version for that SKP from the version you are in, so if you have a v7 file open in v8 and you 'save' it again it will become v8!
To save as a version other than the one you are currently in use 'save_as' and choose an earlier version off the dropdown list.
On a PC a file is typically opened by the last application used to open one of those file-types - BUT v8 opens all SKP files [as v8] when you double-click any SKP's icon. So to open a known v7 file in v7 you first must launch v7 and then use its File > Open menu item...
