Sorry Myki, No can do.

SW is not backward compatible. The only thing to do is save as a dumb solid (parasolid, IGES, STEP, or other) then open in SW 2003/4.]

If you're using the Office version of SolidWorks you can run FeatureWorks on the dumb solid and depending on the part, it could give you a SolidWorks editable file again.

Two years ago at SWW this was mentioned as something that was going to happen. Still waiting.

...there was this little demo program that someone wrote, which it seems is still sitting on their server...

http:\\baren-boym.com\ExchWorks14Demo.zip Barenboym wrote a program called ExchangeWorks, which would convert from

2004 to 2003, parametrically with features.

He never announced an updated version, and it only does extrudes, shells, fillets, no complicated features.

Maybe it will help.
