InRoads V8i vs. InRoads XM (8.9)

Is the only issue with working between InRoads V8i and InRoads XM the Geometry file (.alg)?  Is this the only file a user would have to save back to the 8.9 version after opening and modifing in V8i?  Any other issues with file between to two version of InRoads?

  • Sharing files back an forth may not be an issue but you do need to be aware of differences in the preference file (XIN). They are NOT the same. Take note of Tools>Oprions>>Geometry.  V8i has a new option to allow the horizontal and vertical alignments to unlocked (station values) from one another. I had some issues with that. There are other enhancements in V8i that makes it nessessarry to create a separate XIN file for each version.
