Hi guys,  
I’m trying to open my Revit Dynamo files in Dynamo 2018, but the files are “corrupted” when i try to do that. I’ve been told that it’s due to the programs using different formats. Is there a way to open Revit Dynamo (Plug-in) files in the Dynamo standalone 2017 version?

Thank you for your time.
