    Yep...probably created in AutoSketch v9...!!! Ask the author to peg it back
    a notch.

    I believe he means that the original Autosketch
    file should be saved back in a previous version
    (like AS6) and then it can be opened in QC.

    Turns out that later version of AS skf/qc files
    are not always back-compatible with prior
    versions. Riddle me that one!

    Happy Holidays, mate.

    Don't know. I would think it mimcks AS. So later
    version would be more amenable to opening the
    files you want.

    Your guess.

    Okay - Problem resolved - QuickCAD 7 seems to open AutoSketch files if they are saved as "Autosketch v7.0/v8.0" (although it brings up an error saying "Invalid Table Type"). Conversely it seems that AutoSketch can open files from QuickCAD 7 if they are saved as "AutoSketch".
    THANKS!!
