On solidworks, can we send a 2013 version file to a person who has a solidworks 2010?
Not directly in native Solidworks format.
you have to go through a parasolid export for the 3D and dxf for the 2D

There is no other solution than to send your files using neutral formats such as step or iges.
On the other hand, the parts are transformed into volume or surface bodies. The tree of realization is lost. In addition, in some cases, modifications are less easy.
Have a nice day.

Hello
you need to import the file in parasolid:
you have to register under
You selection parasolid
Just below option you choose the version you want.

you can open an import of the functions
in general it works but it doesn't necessarily correspond to the original function but it facilitates the eventual modification

And yes the whole problem is there and it's good c... t
and that if you follow the updates and versions of SolidWorks
It is not possible to open future files in previous versions
which by definition forces the stakeholders in a certain way to buy the new version with each new version
The commercial fibre has taken over

Hello
They have a little improved their way of doing things from the 2012 SP5 version where you can open from the 2013.
but it 's still e-drawing integrated into the solidworks interface ... not very practical.... and only feasible with consecutive versions
