BuildResourceListN: Accessing drawings of earlier VW Versions

[tbexon]

Hello All

 

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this already... BUT is there anyway BuildResourceListN (or any of the similar BuildResource command) can access a VW drawing of an earlier version? (e.g Active Drawing is in 2022, and target drawing is 2021)

 

Everytime I try this it just fails to import anything. Which I suppose makes sense, but I was hoping for the sake of cross version plug-in compatibility there may be a solution (other than the obvious convert the target drawing to the required version)?

 

Thanks in Advance!

I suppose that it is not possible. BuildResourceList and Co. (be it in C++, VS or Python) do only work on VW document of the current major version (e.g. 2022 document for VW 2022). That has been always that way, for as long as I know VW (i.e. 2007).

Fair enough!
