Or downgrade a file created with OpenRoads Designer, but accidentally opened with OpenRail and converted?
It seems like I can only downgrade to a lower version of OpenRail, but not to an OpenRoads version:

Hi Lene
You can try aligning the file with OpenRoads by using the Civil File Manager:
https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/OpenRoads%20Designer%20CONNECT-v11/en/GUID-A04BDB28-A093-490B-8131-E1C89EDA3EF2.html
You can find it here: C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition\OpenRoadsDesigner
Please note that the dgn might contain OpenRail data that cannot be aligned to OpenRoads - in such case you'd have to remove the rail schema completely to open in OpenRoads
Hi Grzegorz
Thank you for the answer.
Nice to see there is a solution, but since I have not got OpenRoads installed, but "only" OpenRail i cannot downgrade my own file for other users?
All 3 of Bentley's civil products (OpenRoads, OpenRail and OpenSite) have the same functionality of "Downgrade Civil Model":
Yes, but as I understand it's only downgrading within the same application. So this functionality will not downgrade my OpenRail file to an OpenRoads file it will "only" downgrade my OpenRail file to another OpenRail file but in a lower version. The OpenRail file in a lower version is still not editable for an OpenRoads user. This means it might possibly not be editalbe for colleagues who designes roads or drainage. Which is what I want.
The only way, as I see it, for me as an OpenRail user to downgrade a file to an OpenRoads file is to have OpenRoads installed. This is not desirable from an economical standpoint, if that is the only reason I need an OpenRoads application...
You're right - you cannot downgrade an OpenRail model to a specified release of an OpenRoads schema. What I meant was that you can use the "Downgrade Civil Model" tool in OpenRail to completely remove civil model from the file (the last option) so that it can be opened and edited by OpenRoads (or by any other DGN-compatible software, like MicroStation).
