Hi all,

How can I open part created in SolidWorks 2010 with 2008 version? How do I save in 2010 so that people having older version of the software can open the parts?Thank you very much.

Correct Answer

As mentioned before (many times) you cannot do that in any version of SWorks (and many other 3D softwares). You would need to save in a neutral format such as SAT, IGES, STEP, etc. When the file is opened in an version of SWorks, it will open as a "dumb-solid".

    I trust Anton appreciates the humor in your comment as well as I do. If anything, I would classify it as a "light-tap fest".

  Glad to help and please do not mistake my comment about this having been answered many times before as a "slam" toward you. I simply wanted to point out that this is a frequently-asked question.

As sw is parasolid based, it is best to use parasolid format, but you may need to save as an older version of parasolid- eg current version is 21.0. To do this go into the "save as>parasolid> options", and go back a few versions, eg if you want sw2008 use 18.1 or 19.1
