Discussion: Change Ocad Format

I got the program Ocad 11 and a Ocad 11 file. I want to change the file to Ocad 8. How do I do that?

File>Save As
under save as file type choose OCAD 8 Map (.ocd)

Wierd,I can just save it as an OCAD 11 Map (.ocd).
Is it some other way to change it?

Do you have the full version of OCAD 11 or a trial version?

I got trial, is it only workig with full version?

Yes, that is my understanding of the trial version.

Valerie is right. There are not any long term freebies with OCAD 11 (or 10). It's like a bait and switch. You can create a nice little map in the trial version but once your trail period is over that work is lost unless you buy the full version.
However I think you might be able to e-mail the file to someone who has the full 11 version who can then convert it to 8 and e-mail it back. I haven't tried it but it might work.

I have done that previously for another mapper...

As you are no doubt the holder of an OCAD 8 licence, why don't you write a nice email to OCAD saying tht you've tried their latest, but the new features are not tempting enough and you want to stick with the old version. And would they translate for you?
