How to convert CC files to something CS6 can open?

[bobschmenk]

Is there any utility or tool to convert Creative Cloud (CC) files to something CS6 can open?

cc files can be opened by cs6 versions.  a warning will appear, but that doesn't prevent opening.

I keep running into this and wondering if there is a better, easier, faster work around. https://illustratorstuff.com/blogs/school/17909679-opening-new-ai-files-in-an-older-version

for ai specific issues, best to check with the ai experts.

Bob,

Inevitably, there are and will be (more, as CC grows further (apart from CS6)) things that you can do in newer versions and which have no (true) counterparts in older versions, so the real solution is to have whomever created the document(s) downsave.
