V5 downward compatibility

I have been getting up-to-speed on V5R18 and have been experimenting with the Downward Compatibility feature, specifically the creation of R14 files from within R18.

It seem that when I successfully create a R14 file it has the tree stripped off thus a total loss of parametric features. It also seems that the newly created R14 file is unreadable by V5R14 and thus useless. For now, at least, it seems if I want version interchangeability I would be better off to simply export files as STEP.

Anyone else have experience with the CATIA Downward Compatibility feature.

It has worked this way since we first got it way back at R7.
