Alias 2012 and Alias 2011: wirefile compatibility

Some changes have been made to the wire file structure in Alias 2012 that may result in some data not being imported correctly in Alias 2011.

Revolve

Changes to the wire file mean that we lose backward compatibility of revolve history, but forward compatibility is maintained.

Multi-Surface Draft

If you use the Multi-Surface Draft tool to create draft or flange surfaces in Alias 2012, and then retrieve the file in previous versions, the construction history will not update. However, forward compatibility is maintained.
