    You cannot read a file from a later version

    X4 part would have to be saved as X3 ( geometry only )
    This is because features that exist to create the more specialised toolpath operations don't exist, or, are not supported by the earlier toolpathing strategies

    Yes, it would be nice to have V9, or X2 open an X4 geometry file
