Question
Hi,
Please can you tell me if I install AutoCAD LT 2005 on one pc, if other people using LT 2004 on their pc's will be able to open and amend drawings done in the 2005 version.
Thanks


Answer
Jenifer, the answer is no. the acad04 will not be able to even open acad05 drawings. the acad05 on the other hand is backwards compatible, you can open/modify 04 drawings but once this is done & saved, the people w/ acad04 won't be able to open the file. hope this helps, good luck!
