We recently bought the latest version of AutoCadLT. At the same time, we bought a new laptop. When I try to open any AutoCadLT file created in a previous version of AutoCadLT, I receive an error message telling me that the file cannot be opened because it was created in an incompatible version of AutoCad.
How the heck can AutoCad be incompatible with AutoCad?
We've been running AutoCad and AutoCad LT for years. Never had any such problem when upgrading from one version to a later version.
Please help.
Thanks,

Don't know how to put one of the files into this post. Tried copying and pasting, no dice. Tried clicking and dragging, no dice. The attachment box at the bottom appears only to work if the user has access to our company's server - that isn't going to happen, of course. Sorry to be so inept. If it doesn't have oil in it, I know nothing about it.
Surely I can't be the only one getting this strange error - incompatible version of AutoCad. If someone at AutoCad monitors this site, perhaps he or she would respond, at least to tell me how it is possible for AutoCad to be incompatible with AutoCad.
I guess we can ask AutoCad to refund our money, but that just means I'll have to start from zero with some other drawing program.
Thanks for any advice.

Sorry to jump the thread but I too am having a client using 2015 who is not reading a file saved in the 2010 format.
Similar situation perhaps?
I'm still investigating whether or not the original file was created in an AutoCAD product but this is like pulling teeth for some reason.
I too receive a foreign file warning when opening in 2014 but the drawing reads fine except for many many line segments of everything. Especially circles. I have asked if this is an exploded 3D drawing though do not know if it was flattened.

Was thinking it is a Save issue as well
