Multisim Backward Compatibility

Is there a way to save MultiSim Ver 12 files in Ver11 format. All of our users have yet to migrate to Ver 12. They cannot open the Ver 12 files.

Unfortuantely you cannot save files in version 11 format with Multisim version 12.  However, you can export the SPICE netlist, which is the essence of the schematic, and load it using Multisim 11. In that case your users can run simulation with version 11 software(however, they can't view the circuit layout or make changes on it). A step-by-step procedure would be as following:

  1. Open project in version 12.
  2. Transfer->Export SPICE netlist->save the file
  3. Open the netlist in version 11
  4. Place->Component->serch for "Arbitrary SPICE block"
  5. Selecting "Value" tab and copy over the netlist code
