I recently updated my RAM structural from version 17.02.01.23 to 17.03.
Is there a way to go back and downgrade my RAM file.
The reason I need to go back is because the company standard is 17.02.01.23. I was not supposed to upgrade to V17.03. In retrospect, I made a mistake in not asking about updating. However, now I am in a pickle, trying to back save my model.
Much help is appreciated.
Thanks,

The model would have been backed up when converted. It's the file of the same name .zip. but you can't otherwise convert a Ram SS file backwards. See: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/3112/ram-ss-files-faq
Understood. Unfortunately, the backup version of my pre-conversion model did not have all the information I need from it. However, thank you for your prompt response and link. I am going to take my backup version pre-conversion and re-build from there using the prior version. Unfortunately, it is a time sensitive project. Rookie mistake. I gotta do what I gotta do to meet this deadline.
Note, when we release version 17.03.01 soon it will be backward compatible with 17.03.00 FWIW. That’s not always the case, but we will try this for minor updates.
