Tekla Structure Issue: Downwards compatible

Im fairly new to Tekla structures and started out working in v16. Now I encounter a problem with communication to a lower version of TS (TS11.2). I can not find a way to exchange my v16 model with this lower version. My question is: Is TS v16 somehow downwards compatible with earlier versions?


An example for my idea is AutoCAD, In ACAD2011 it is possible to save drawings as ACAD2004/2007. This clients with lower versions then yours can open these drawings.

On the otherhand Autodesk Inventor (like Xsteel a 3D modelling envirement) is not downwards compatible, so maybe it has something to do with the way 3D modelling software is programmed. (I am a total newb if it comes to scripting etc.)

Thanks for your time and help,
