    That should not be a problem. (Besides use the 6.0.3 beta). Maybe you

    should mention what pc and software you use, so that cadsoft can provide

    better help.

    Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I think the OP was asking how to open 

    6.x version schematics/boards with Eagle 5.x or older. That cannot be 

    done, different file structure.

    Besides, you probably meant: 'use the 6.1.3 beta'?

    Well he said USING v6 and can not open OLDER which should not be a

    problem. I do it every day. But you are right, it should read

    6.1.3 beta image

    I think Richard was right. This is what the OP said:

     

    "I am using eagle 6.1 , I cannot open schematic file and board file in

    eagle 5.10 and older versions."

     

    So he's trying to open v6 files in EAGLE v5.

    Let's ask the OP to confirm that image
