They have also introduced a new feature into SolidWorks 2013. If you have Service Pack 4 for 2012, you will be able to open SolidWorks 2013 files. It's unclear if this will still work once a service pack is released for 2013 and the file is saved in that though.

Example included in SolidWorks Premium 2011 package. (Polish language version). See more at: Learn the export process using CIRCUITWORKS to export a SOLIDWORKS part file to IDF.

SHAME ON SOLIDWORKS FOR THAT.... THEIR UPGRADES ARE JUST LIKE IPHONE, NOTHING JUST DIFFERENT FRONT END ANDD YEAH FILES SAVED ARE NOT BACKWORD COMPATIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

I think that if you download an IGES or STEP file made from a future version of SW then the older version of SW will try and do a feature recognition and may be able to retrieve the features (New versions often have features that are not supported in older ones) when opening the file.

BackWorks is a SolidWorks Add-in that will allow you to save your files back as far as version 2012. It Is also able to open and save future versions of SolidWorks.
This product can be downloaded from the link below and has a free trial offer. BackWorks has worked great for me in the past.

Anyone ever import a CADENCE Allegro PCB into SolidWorks?

Hi Folks,
I'm just wondering if anyone has ever import a PCB design (done in Allegro) directly into SolidWorks. If so what have you found to be the best intermediate format? Or what intermediate formats are available for export within the Allegro environment (e.g. IGES, STEP, etc.).
I've never done anything like this before and am in the dark. Any feedback would be appreciated greatly.
