Converting a file replaces the old version file with a new version file, leaving one copy.

In the past, you might have kept multiple drafts of your files in case you needed to refer or switch to earlier versions. Google Drive keeps all your drafts in one file. You can easily view or restore earlier versions.

Examples

  • View, delete, download, or revert to previous versions any time
  • Access any version of your file anytime, from any device
  • Refer back to existing comments in a previous version
  • Keep your folders clean—there’s no need to keep multiple drafts of your files anymore

View or revert to earlier versions of Docs, Sheets, and Slides files

Note: You need Owner or Editor access to see the version history.

How can we improve it?

Issue:

How to save a drawing in AutoCAD to an older file format for compatibility with prior versions of AutoCAD, and allow older releases of AutoCAD to open the file instead of receiving the following message:

Open Drawing - Incompatible Version

The drawing file could not be opened because it was created with a more recent version of AutoCAD.

Solution:

If the file can be opened

The Save As dialog window in AutoCAD allows selecting different drawing versions:

  1. Click the Save As button on the Quick Access Toolbar in AutoCAD or type SAVEAS on the command line.
    • Tip: Change the name of the file to prevent overwriting the original.
  2. Choose the appropriate file format version from the Files of Type drop-down menu.
  3. Save the file.

Note: The default file format can be designated in the program under the Open and Save tab in Options, making AutoCAD always save to that format.

If the file cannot be opened

If a file has been received in a newer format that cannot be opened by the version of AutoCAD currently installed (hence receiving the above "incompatible version message"), download and install the latest version of DWG TrueView (a free Autodesk file viewing software) and use the DWG Convert feature to convert the drawing.

  1. Create a copy of the drawing file to be converted.
  2. Launch DWG TrueView.
  3. Click the application menu in the upper-left and choose DWG Convert (or pick it on the ribbon if a file is open).

Converting a file replaces the old version file with a new version file, leaving one copy.

  1. Add the file(s) in the Files Tree list (click the green plus Add Files button).
  2. Choose the appropriate file format version.
  3. Click Convert.

Note: AutoCAD itself has the DWGCONVERT command for batch-converting files to older formats.
