(OP)
Anyway I can covert a SW2006 file to SW2005???

RE: file Conversions

Solidworks is not backwards compatible.

Your best bet is to save the file as an iges and open it in 2005. You won't get the feature tree unless you have FeatureWorks as part of your version of solidworks. Otherwise it will just end up an imported body.

RE: file Conversions

A parasolid is even better than IGES.  But as jksolid said, you'll have no features--just a dumb solid.
