Anyone know is there a way to open a part created using Solidworks 2012, with Solidworks 2010?
Thanks in advance.

I would not be surprised that much of their developper are working on V6 or Catia Lite or whatever you want to call it, and only a small portion of them are left to make just enough improvement to say they are not giving up on SW as we know it.

Parasolids can be made Binary .X_b or default .X_T for the non binary files.
PTC can save files and be worked on at multiple version levels WF2-WF5 can use Neutral Files any new geometry that doesn't exist in older versions comes in as dumbsolid and other features are maintained.
We'll see if SolidWorks attacks between version interoperability or Direct Modeling first.

As to why your company may choose to remain on v2011 to this day, there are good reasons for doing so. Pushing some of the SW features to their limits will reveal entire crops of crippling bugs. I've been burned by this personally in the past, which now has me lagging in version adoption for production work. I stay current with installations, generally, but as a rule I don't trust "new" versions of SW until a few service packs into the release (and I watch the forums to see what issues people are encountering) before jumping on board. You can go forward, but you cannot go back. We'll see if the future versions support backward compatibility in a useful way or not, but in the meantime I don't find it worth the risk.
