(OP)
One of our suppliers is using SW 2006 and we are using SW 2005. When they send us a model, obviously we cannot open it. The solution is to have them convert their model into another format such as IGES or ParaSolid. Is there any format that is better to use in terms of keeping the geometry for measuring?

RE: Best format
So it's just smart to continue to use that and use "Parasolid".
