Hello, Is there a conversion tool that allows optics studio new zemax file .zmx to open in Zemax 12? I can’t open the new optics studio  file (.zmx) using older version of zemax.

Hi @oenthus01!

We do not guarantee the compatibility with older versions. That being said, almost all files will open without any problems with older versions. You will just get a warning message.
Sometimes you can have issues when opening files that contain new features.

Is there any reason why you are using Zemax 12?
