I have tried changing the ASCII file to get my scene to open up in 4.5 but none of the combinations/variations I try are working, has anyone else been successful in getting a 5.0 file to open in 4.5? Does anyone have a definitive answer on what exactly needs to be changed in the ASCII file? I have tried deleting the fileInfo lines and replacing all 5.0's with 4.5's but I still get an unrecognized file type error.

:annoyed:

Thanks for the reply, Robin, I will have to try that, but I am looking for the correct way to do it with the ASCII files, I don't want to have to resort to a plugin to do this, and then see if I will even be allowed to install this plug-in at my school if it does work, AND have the added hassle of installing that plug-in on any of the computers I use (the lab seating is open). I am looking for the way to do this using the Maya ASCII format.
