When saving a file to DWG how can the file be saved to a different version of DWG?
Background
When saving a file to DWG it may be desirable to save to a different version (for example a 2004 DWG file) as it may be a requirement of a vendor/supplier to view the file in an older DWG format
Steps to Accomplish
- Go to the menu File > Save As...
- In the Save As dialog, change the 'Save as type' drop down to Autodesk(R) DWG Files (*.dwg)
- Click on the Options button at the bottom right of dialog
- Select the General Tab of the Save As DWG/DXF Options dialog
- Expand the Basic heading as shown in Image 1
- Beside 'DWG Version', left click on the value shown - see image 2
- Select the desired version from the pop up list (e.g. 2004/2005/2006) - see image 3
- Click on OK to close Save As DWG/DXF Options
- Save the file to DWG
