mkeffer Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hello, I used Chief Premier X1 for several years and made many files in it, but our licence was not renewed. I would like to be able to open/edit a few of my X1 files in HomeDesign Architectural 2018 which I have just purchased. Back when I was working with Chief Premier, I did not check any box within the Chief files saying "make these files viewable in HomeDesign." Is there anyone who might be able to open my files in Chief and make them editable in HomeDesign? (I understand some functionality might be lost; that's okay) (and is this even the correct forum for this question? I'm new to the forum, and I see there is a "services requested" section, but thought I'd start my request here.) thanks for any help/wisdom/advice!

mkeffer Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hi solver, thanks for the quick reply. Now that I think about it, I think it was actually Chief X5. I attached the .plan filecabin 11-X5 as-is.plan cabin 11-X5 as-is.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 The plan opens perfectly in X5 (not X1 as you stated), It opens in Architectural 2018 but only in view mode (no printing or editing allowed, sorry). If you still have the installation discs for X5, you can still use them to run X5, the only limitation will be access to later library files that do not come with the installation discs.

mkeffer Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 hello again solver, can i trouble you to do the same for these files? (previously with other files, you were able to open them in Chief, click whatever box necessary to allow me to edit them in HomeDesigner Arch 2018). Thanks a bunch! mkeffer oven tub.plan yurt 24 furniture.plan cabin_36_east_shed.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
