Jobs Import

Post by hondaccord94 »

Hai,

I have a question regarding the DSX file imports, infact two questions.

1). Can I import a 7.1 DSX into 7.5 ?

2). Can I import a 7.5 DSX into 7.1 ?

Thanks

1. yes

2. no*



* only thru carefully hacking the .dsx you might be able to nudge it in, but you can't have used any 7.5 features or stages not support under 7.1

I recently did import a 7.5 export into 7.0. There were lots of warnings about various things, but the import seems to have been discarded the new features that 7.0 wouldn't know about, but otherwise to work successfully. Jobs did need to be recompiled, even though the export file included job executables. Apart from that, 'twas OK. 8)
