Aspire V12 backward Compatability with V8?

Post by bubblehead »

There is this guy on YouTube, (link removed), that does 3D Carvings using Aspire V8 and he shares his files in the descriptions of his videos. I have V12, and have attempted to download several of his V8 .crv3d files, but they will not open for me in Vectric Aspire V12. :(
Are V8 files too old to be opened with V12, or is there something else going on? If this is the case, where can I get an older version that might be able to open the V8 files that would allow me to resave them in a format that V12 can open?

Hello Bubblehead.

Can you send me one of these .CRV3d files to support@vectric.com so I can have a look into why it is not loading for you?

Many thanks

BTW, if you need any others, you can just go to his channel and download them. .. or I can get them for you.
thanks

I believe that means it was created with an unlicensed copy of the Vectric products.

That is certainly a possibility.

Looks like you are correct, (Not that I doubted you).
