If you're asking to open a 65. project in ArchiCAD 11, I think you will need to open it in ArchiCAD 9 first and save it as an AC9 file. Then you can open that in AC11. Hopefully you have a PLA so you can retrieve some of the library parts!

It would be good if we could download old versions of ArchiCAD!

Cheers,

Open the 6.5 file in AC9 and save it.
Then open that AC 9 in AC11.
Then you should check your Project carefully because some things might not be working (e.g. Library Parts).

If you do have a .pla, you might want to use the Special menu in AC9 and update the library parts as well, then save as a new (AC9).pla and open that in AC11. There are threads in this forum on how to do this. Do a Search!

Here is an article that describes how to update old library parts. It's important to do this if migrate a project to ArchiCAD 11 (or 12), and you have 6.5 library parts.
