Afternoon,

Hope someone here can help me.  I've got Together Architect 2006
(Version 8.0 Build 3080.1 according to the About box).  A
colleague of mine has Together Architect Version 1.1 Build
4244 - April 13 2005.  I can open stuff that he has created, but
so far he's been unable to open anything I create.

Someone mentioned that they'd heard that 2006 is not backwards
compatible with 1.1 - is this the case?  If they are compatible
what's the best way to create a project in 2006 that we can both
open?

I hope that's all clear - I've never really used the tool
before, so any advice on this matter would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,
Dave

P.S. if this isn't the right forum for this message could
someone direct me to the right place - thanks.

It's unusual for software programs to be able to create files that are 
compatible with older versions; Microsoft Office is the only suite I know 
of that does this with any consistency.

I don't think there's any way for you to do what you're looking for.  
Together 2006 has a radically different file structure and as such I doubt 
it would support writing older types.

Hi David,

Together 2006 is not backwards compatible in terms of opening TA 1.1 
projects and leaving them as such. Once you import them as you are 
already doing, they are updated and cannot go back.

This is because of differences in format, containment (there is no EMF 
in TA 1.1) and versions of UML.

If you're creating a UML 1.4 project in Together 2006 R2, you might be 
able to import/export via XMI if you can find the matching version of 
XMI on either end.

Cheers,

Miroslav

Thanks for the responses - I figured that was the case, but as
I've not used the tool before I wanted to check with someone
who knew what they were talking about.

I've had a look at the XMI stuff as suggested - it's not 
perfect but might have to do until we can both get the same version.
