AE2008 or AE2009

[gdwilner]

I have a new computer system that I am setting up, as we are on the subscription program, I can install ether AE2008 or AE2009. My current computer has AE2006.

I know I saw information on the file format changes that have been made after AE2006 but have no idea where I saw the information. Are the file formats for AE2008 & AE2009 compatible or not?

One of our customers supports AE2008 with some customized applications, but I would like to use some of the new features in AE2009 for our in house drawings. Big user interface changes where AE2007 to AE2008, I can take a chance on AE2009, but if those changes can between AE2008 & AE2009 I will hold off on AE2009.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The .dwg format changed at 2006.
2007, 2008, and 2009 share the same dwg format.
In other words... ACADE 08 and ACADE 09 have compatiable dwg formats.
