File compatibility
File Open
- Each Start Edition version opens the files saved by all previous versions of Start Edition.
- Start Edition does not open files saved by full Archicad versions, except Archicad 8.1 and 9.
- Archicad full versions open files saved by the corresponding Start Edition version (see the table above) and all earlier Start Edition versions back to Start Edition 2006.
- Archicad full versions open files saved by previous Archicad full versions back to Archicad 8.1.
File Save
- Start Edition versions save files of only their own version. This means that earlier versions of Start Edition won't open the file.

- Archicad full versions open files saved by previous Archicad full versions back to Archicad 8.1.
"
What does Archicad Full Version have to do with STAR(T) version in this sentence?
Thank you in advance

1. START->FULL
2. START->START
3. FULL->START
4. FULL->FULL
