Hello,
it is possible open Altium Designer PCB in old Eagle v5.x? I use in AD File->Export-P-CAD ASCI. In Eagle File->Import->P-CAD. This work for Eagle version 6.0 and later (XML Data format). I want open this in older Eagle version 5 (Binary Data Format). Does anybody know how to do it?

Sorry for post under post but I resolved my issue.
This is solution:
- copy file ulp/import-accel.ulp from EAGLE v6 application directory into EAGLE v5
- open file import-accel.ulp and edit line number 22 "#require 6.0300" into #require 5.0300
- use ULP script in old Eagle

This is not cleary way to open P-CAD ASCII file in old version EAGLE (under version 6 without support XML Data format) but work. This is work kludge.
