Hi Gid Team
I’m running 9.3.1b x64 on a windows 7 PC but I like the old style
(9.0.4) layers window with the “send to” option etc is it possible to
change it to this style?
I have a USB dongle & run 9.3.1b x64 on one Pc (windows 7) & 9.0.4 x32
on another (windows XP) if I modify a model in the newer version & save
it I get a warning that it is too modern a version when I try to open it
in 9.0.4 and may crash GiD, there only seems to be the alternative
option of saving in old GiD7 format is there a work around? I want to
keep my model files on a server which I can access from either PC.
Regards

It is not possible to set the old style of the layers window, but all old
features also exists in the new window!!
e.g. to send entities to a layer, select the destination layer and press the
fourth upper icon of the window (or the contextual menu of the rigth mouse
button)
When opening a model created by a newest version (where the format of the
database could have changed to add some new feature), the older GiD show the
related warning.
Probably you didn’t used any of this new features and the model could be
read by the old version without problem (or maybe the basic data is read and
only this new data is lost), then you can ignore the warning, and save again
the model with the old version, then both version will read it without any
warning.
The option to save in ‘old GiD7’ format can do something similar, writting
only the data that was acceptable for this version, and ignore the ‘new
data’. This could be interesting to send your model to old users, assuming
that the most inportant, like the geometry, is preserved.
Note: ‘new data’ could be ‘boundary layer information’, some kind of
‘semi-structured’ information, etc.
