Need Help Older Gerber PLT files not recognized by 6.5

[Skeezix]

Hi

Win 10 Gerber 6.5 will not open my older 2.5 PLT files that were generated in Gerber.
I tried several files from 2003-2006 and get the same error from Back up hard drive and on C drive desktop file.
Tried double click, Import and Open from Omega as well as *all files
Looking for ideas on this Module error : Composer - Module GspCvtrCtlFn.cpp Line 804

Opening older versions of PLT files

When opening PLT files created with OMEGA versions prior to OMEGA 3.0 you have the option to convert all smart edit shapes to objects, thus preventing unwanted movement or resizing of shapes when the file is regenerated in OMEGA 3.0 or higher. Click Remove Smart Edits to convert the job to objects, maintaining their position and size, but losing the smart edit abilities.


Click Keep Smart Edits to allow the objects to be edited in OMEGA 3.0 or higher, but they might move or resize the first time only. If you wish to regenerate all smart edit objects in a job and save the file select all objects, click Edit > Regenerate ReAction Now and then save the file. Objects in the file may move or resize, but will not do that again and the Older Smart Edit Object Warning will no longer appear when you open the file. Alternately, you can regenerate each smart edit chain individually, but this message will appear if any older smart edit objects remain.


If individual smart edit operations were applied to objects in a legacy file they will appear in OMEGA 3.0 as individual smart edit operations as in prior versions of OMEGA. If smart edit operations were applied sequentially to an object they will appear as a ReAction chain of events.


If you want to always continue without conversion, turn off this message. The option message can be reset via Tools > Options > General tab.
