Again,IRONCAD 3D data cannot be stored in older versions of IRONCAD.

If you want to open data created with a new version of IRONCAD, export it to an intermediate file (Parasolid, ACIS, STEP, etc.) and import the exported data with IRONCAD.

The data exported to the intermediate file will no longer have a creation history and become a Brep part.
