Convert 2005 part to 2004
(OP)
I've been working on a project in Solidworks 2005, but our customer is using 2004. Is it possible to save the files as a 2004 file type? Anyone have any ideas?

RE: Convert 2005 part to 2004
Solidworks in not backwords compatible. To be able to save as 2004, you would have to export as a parasolid file, then import the parasolid into 2004. However, you will only have a dumb solid. If you search the forum for backwards compatability you will find many threads on this topic.
The case remains true for Inventor as well so I believe it's not just a SW issue.

To answer your question, No. You will have to use a "dumb" parasolid file to go backwards.
