2011 to 2007
(OP)
I am using a copy of 2007 SW. Will my copy of 2007 read 2011 SW drawings. I need to use some of the parts drawen in 2011 for an assembly in SW2007. If I purchase 2011 can I run it on windows XP
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

SWX2011 is supported on XP, both 32 and 64-bit.

My bad... I had it backwards... 2009 does not support Windows 7. It makes total sense that new SW can function on an older OS. Thanks.

To the original question:
Upgrading to 2011 will be the easiest way to use the parts, especially if you need the features as they were originally drawn. Will cut out the middle step of having to have someone convert them before you get them into your possession.
If all you are looking for is the object and don't care how it was drawn, then having whomever gave you the 2011 parts save to parasolids, iges, step, or whatever your preffered filetype is would be just as sufficient.
