AutoCAD Structural 2014 Enablers for AutoCAD 2012

We have a client that is using AutoCAD Structural Detailing, 2014 version, and we are using AutoCAD 2012. The client is sending us files that we can't open correctly. They indicated that we may need to download the Object Enablers. Are there any Object Enablers for conveting 2014 file back to 2012? 

 

We have also ask that the files be save to a .dwg format that we can read, and some objects still come in as "boxes".

 

Any suggestions?

There are no across-years Object Enablers: 2013-2014 introduced a new DWG format which upgrades all AEC content out of reach of 2012 and lower.
This is by design, no fix, no add-on, no OE to add or delete.

You both can turn on PROXYOBJECTS and PROXYSHOW when saving and sharing, and hope fo the best: or they (2014) need to explode everything for you; or you need to upgrade to 2014 versions of your software to catch up.

Across Years (Backwards) - That's what I thought. But I was asked to find out for sure.

 

Thanks.
