edit a file using a lower version?

how to edit cadence pcb file created in high version(16.5), in a lower version(16.3)?

As far as I know, if you edit the PCB using the lower version. You will lose all data regarding the design rules.

Editing in lower version not advisable, as khanna said you will lose design rule data and the file may have to be recreated.

goto file >>export>>save to****(select the 16.3 version)

I think you can directly down convert the file to version in 16 sereies only, just check that, I am not sure about it

Yes you are right. That is SAVE AS file menu option.
That is good, thanks for.

After you made your changes, did you tried opening/converting the file again with the higher version?
I doubt it would work without problems.
