4.5 file to 4.0

[klingspor]

You can open a .ma in a text editor and check for occurances of "maya 4.5" or the like - just replace those with "maya 4.0" and you should be set.
Unless you used any 4.5 specific features that is...

oh das ist es schon?irgendwie wollt ich schonmal gucken ob man das so einfach hätte lösen können?!ich hätt da eher den hex-editor geöffnet...

you should also do the following....

open the .ma file in wordpad
delete all of the lines at the top of the file that begin with "requires" and "fileinfo" then change the top line from //Maya ASCII 4.5 scene to //Maya ASCII 4.0 scene..

same will work with 5.0...

yeah.thx a lot.I did it already as the script editor in maya 4.0 told me that he don't know what fileinfo means.so I thought to delete a part of the header might be the best posibility...
but thx a lot for your help!
