How to import an ".emx" UML Model saved on version 7.0.5.1 into a 7.0.0 environment

Asked by baretree in Eclipse, WebSphere Studio, Java Editors & IDEs

Tags: IBM Eclipse, Rational Software Modeler, 7.0.5.1, backward compat. with version 7.0.0

I've been working on some Use Cases, Activity Diagrams and so, using IBM's Rational Software Modeler version 7.0.5.1
The problem is that when I was trying to integrate it into my whole project at office, we have there the 7.0.0 version and I receive a lot of errors when trying to opening the ".emx" file. Editor not supported, and a lot of things.
I have tried exporting the Model to other formats from within 7.0.5.1 but to not succeed. The best I was able to do was creating "fragments" and then importing them into 7.0.0 but all Activity Diagrams are gone and like  trying to create new ones and rearrange everything is a chaos.

I thought it would be like an option to "save as" or "export as" a previous version, like backward compatibility, but it seems not to be one.

Any idea on how can I kind of solve this the easiest way?

I guess some of the problem are all those plug-ins created on the ".metadata" folder of the workspace, but I don't think I can like copy mine and overwrite my office's folder to see if that works.

Obviously when I created the UML Project on my RSM 7.0.5.1 using my RSM 7.0.0 saved model (.emx) it went so fine.
Now that I need to rejoin what I was working on at my office, is that I cannot open my 7.0.5.1 file, not even the .xmi, .um* files of the "export" options given
I am quite afraid I might be loosing everything I worked on the last 3 days, and that's a lot... :S
