Export to Solidworks seems to be gone in NX10?
(OP)
I had Export>Solidworks... in NX9
Did they remove that functionality and now want you to use the STEP or IGES?
Also, when you export one of these file types, which one will maintain the PMI for my vendor's use? He has solidworks, so I would like to make his life as easy as possible.

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but from what I was told:
Was there or was there not a huge thing about solidworks and NX being written with the same code that was "stolen" from one or the other??
RE: Export to Solidworks seems to be gone in NX10?
SolidWorks uses (or used to use) the "Parasolid" geometry kernel. The parasolid kernel is licensed out to many developers and is used in various CAD/CAM applications. If I remember correctly, Dassault bought out SolidWorks and have recently reworked it to use their own geometry engine rather than parasolid. I'm sure it was properly licensed out to them, not "stolen", but they didn't like paying fees to a certain competitor.

As for your question about Solidworks and NX, I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYONE MENTION ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES EVER!!!!
Now it is true that Dassault Systèmes, the developer of Solidworks (as well as Catia), licenses from us, Siemens PLM Software, several software 'toolkits', something that we refer to as 'MCAD Software Components', including Parasolid, which is used as a solid modeling kernel (note that several other companies also licence various 'MCAD Software Components' from us, see the link below for more information). But back to your question, ALL of these toolkits were acquired/developed legitimately by Siemens PLM Software over the course of many years.

The part about the MCAD was strictly just curiosity.
Last question about this is:
What is the difference between STEP 203 and STEP 214??
Are there any advantages for running one over the other??

It will give to the option to turn it on if (for whatever reason) it is turned off.

Going forward there is an amalgamated standard called STEP 242 which includes all options of both, plus a little bit more.
