Exporting/Saving in Home Designer Pro2022 for Opening in Chief ArchitectX12

[RobbieG-Astilla]

Hello.  First time user, so forgive me if I've not followed proper protocols.

 

I recently purchased Home Designer Pro-2022 in an effort to create plans for a remodel of a neighbors house. 

 

I created an existing floor plan and a proposed floor plan, which I've saved and gave to the architect, which will be taking my plans, reviewing them, correcting them where necessary and then submitting them to the city. 

 

I took my Home Designer Pro-2022 (23.4.1.8x64) files to the architect, but he could not open them.  He is running Chief Architect X12.

 

Is there a way for me to export/save my files from Home Designer Pro-2022, so that he can open them in Chief Architect X12? 

 

Your recommendations are appreciated.

Your architect should understand the problem.

Not really. Give him a PDF of the plan and he can quickly redraw.

Thanks for the prompt reply.  I've gone ahead and changed my signature.  I tried before, but couldn't find exactly where to do so.  Your screen print helped. Thanks.

 

I'm a bit surprised by your answer --  I would have thought that Chief Architect Premier X12, would have been able to open/edit the plans I created in Home Designer Pro 2022.

 

I will pass on the info you provided to him.

 

Thanks.

Pro 2022 is comparable to X13, and none of the Chief Architect/Home Designer products are able to open newer version plans.

Understood.  Thanks again.
