Opening V5 files in V8

Post by Battler »

Hello

This is my first post as I have just purchased Flowcode 8. Completely new to programming and Flowcode I have quite a few fcf demonstration files I would like to use for help and ideas however I cannot open them in my version Flowcode 8.2, is there something I am missing or do I have to convert them fist is this possible and how.

Greatly appreciate your help

THANKS

Hi Batter,
Welcome to the forums.
Sorry but v5 files are no longer supported in v8.
Perhaps you could at examples by searching with comonent key words on Wiki
Or within Flowcode, you can add a component to 2D or 3D panel, then on the panel select the component and right click & select Help.
There is information about the component and even demo flowcharts.

If there is a particular v5 file you are after then if you upload or post a link to it, there will be someone that will convert it for you.

Thank you Jorgen,
You are correct in what you are stating.
My comments are only assuming that as Battler is a new member.
So he/she only have access to V8.
Therefore will rely on other forum member's that have other versions to assist them.

Hi All

Thank you very much for your fast responses and being so helpful, will have to look further for help files though the ones I had seemed would be very helpful just starting out.

Thank you so much
