Downgrading brd/sch from V5 -> V4

nickds1

I've been playing with V5, and very nice it is too! (thanks guys).

 

However, I publish a few designs on the web & elsewhere, and the bottom line

is that very few Eagle users will be on V5 for some time, especially as its

a cost-option and V4.16r2 is pretty stable.

 

So, can I save/export a V5 project in V4 format, such that V4 users can work

with it? Even MS Word allows this sort of functionality. A ULP that stripped

all the V5 extras (attributes etc.) would probably be the route to take...

 

Is this possible/has it been done?

 

Thanks

    EAGLE can't save the files in an older data format. Changes in the

    data structure are partially irreversible and new features can't

    be interpreted by older EAGLE version. This could cause losses in

    your drawings.

     

    And by the way:

    A simply written text with a few letters arranged on a sheet

    can't be compared to a schematic/layout design, can it? image scnr
