- KBA Summary:
- This article details the compatibility of SHOTPlus™ 5 files within SHOTPlus™ 6
SHOTPlus™ 6 is not designed to work with SPF files that were originally created in SHOTPlus™ 5.
To prevent potential file corruption, related to compatibility issues, SHOTPlus™ 5 files opened in SHOTPlus™ 6 will be opened in 'read-only' mode. Users will be able to view these files, but not edit or save.

Data or entities should not be transferred between SHOTPlus™ 5 and SHOTPlus™ 6 using copy and paste functionality.
