===== Post Versions =====
To find what version a post is, first step is to check it's matching .mmd, which you can do with windows explorer preview or by right clicking and checking properties.

If you don't have the mmd to look at, or you can't verify the version of the mmd is the same as the pst, you need to look to the first line of the post.

Here is a list of the versions:

2023 = 25\\
2022 = 24\\
2021 = 23\\
2020 = 22\\
2019 = 21\\
2018 = 20\\
2017 = 19\\
X9   = 18\\
X8   = 17\\
X7   = 16\\
X6   = 15\\
X5   = 14\\
X4   = 13\\
X3   = 12\\
X2   = 11\\
X    = 10\\
V9   = 9\\
V8   = 8\\
V7   = 7\\
V6   = 6\\

===== Which Version For Updating =====

When updating the posts, note that Version X8 was the last version that could update any prior version.  Starting in X9, Mastercam only allows updating up to 3 versions back.  That means, if you its Version X9 or above, you need to run multiple updates to get to the latest version.  Here is what it looks like:

X8   updates X7 and all versions before\\
X9   updates X6   thru X8\\
2017 updates X7   thru X9\\
2018 updates X8   thru 2017\\
2019 updates X9   thru 2018\\
2020 updates 2017 thru 2019\\
2021 updates 2018 thru 2020\\
2022 updates 2019 thru 2021\\
2023 updates 2020 thru 2022\\

Here is an example:

Say you want to update an X7 post up to 2021.  First, you can open 2017 and run your update.  Then you can update your 2017 post to 2020.  Then you can get it to 2021.
