https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/can-arcpy-s-saveacopy-function-save-down-an-mxd/m-p/1093189#M25777 <P>I know that the ArcPy function saveACopy will allow you to save MXDs from your currently installed ArcMap version down to a previous version. Since running this function does not require you to open the MXD(s) in ArcMap, I'm wondering if using this function is a solution for saving down an MXD from a version higher than you have installed to your current version of ArcMap.</P><P>For reference, my organization currently is using 10.7.1. I'd like to be able to save down 10.8.1 MXDs that are delivered to us from clients.</P><P>PS: I'm creating a Python tool in our company's custom toolbox so that I can enable all our users to use this function on multiple MXDs at a time. Looking at the version parameters available in 10.7.1, I think I'll have to use the default value to save at 10.7, instead of actually choosing "10.7" from the list.</P> Fri, 27 Aug 2021 16:29:44 GMT JoeBryant1 2021-08-27T16:29:44Z https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/can-arcpy-s-saveacopy-function-save-down-an-mxd/m-p/1093189#M25777 <P>I know that the ArcPy function saveACopy will allow you to save MXDs from your currently installed ArcMap version down to a previous version.
