    Hello,

    You can downrev the 17.4 design to 17.2 using "File > Export > Downrev design" ("Export > Downrev design" in OrCAD)

    There are only a couple things that would not transfer down to 17.2, see log file for details.

    Also you could enable 17.2 Compatibility Mode in 17.4 so when you save the design it will be in 17.2 format.

    The settings is under User Preferences (Setup > User Preferences)

    Hope this helps,
    Mike Catrambone
