Is there a way to convert back to Eagle 5 format?

ClaveFremen

I didn't make backup copy of a project I'm working on not expecting problems from the new 6.0 version...

 

Sadly there are problems that are preventing me to continue with Eagle 6, is there a way to convert back .brd and .sch back to Eagle 5 format?

 

Or has been the RCL capacitors problem listed in known and urgent problems to be fixed?

    Well, I got a similar issue. I'm sharing a design with someone else and he has just updated to 6.0 hence I can't read any of his files unless I upgrade too, which I'm not really motivated to do as 5.10 does all I require (and I would need to pay for the upgrade of course).

     

    Saving to an older format *IS* pretty common since about '89, the fact that Eagle doesn't support this is somewhat mind boggling.

     

    So, is there a way to convert 6.0 files to 5.10?

    Try using the export-board and export-schematic ULPs that are up on the

    website. There will probably be a couple of errors on import into V5 but

    otherwise should import ok.
