      I have an important model originally created in V6. I opened it in V8-free and saved it after some edits because I expected to convert everything over.

      However, soon after that I discovered that my GPU is not up to snuff for V8 and I cannot export 2D drawings, which on this model (my Silver Dart) is crucial, as my work in progress is being reviewed by the aviation museum and the builders of the flying replica for accuracy. The model is too big to send as an SU file.

      My GPU is at OpenGL 1.2 and can only be upgraded to OpenGL 1.3. V8 needs OpenGL 1.5.
      I can upgrade the GPU, but the age of my system makes this problematic in other areas. πŸ‘Ž

      So to overcome this problem, I would like to revert my model to SU-V6 (temporarily) so that I can export 2D images. I am NOT using any V8 features in this model, nor are there any that would be of use in THIS model.

      So, is there any way I can save it back in V6 format?

      I was contemplating exporting it back by clipboard copy in chunks.

        Click on the down facing arrow and you'll be able to select anything from v3 to v7.
