  unfortunately no, SolidWorks is not backwards compatible.
  you can ask the source of these file to convert them to step or iges format then you will be able to use them in SW2010.

  yep solidworks guys say that in every new version there are more and more features that sometimes cant be translated to earlier versions so newer versions will never be opened by earlier ones.. the only solution would be to use a neutral format..

  about the new feature - it's true you said! often that simple does not want to recognize the surface after the transfer to a neutral format!
  as I recall, the format of STEP - the only format accepted by the Ministry of Defence of America and the world as a single standard!

  Business Solutions is a perennial problem - we are constantly forced to move to a new product!
  sorry, but fail to open: / You can use the format transition - step, x_t, igs, and then recognize the surface, so that you can edit the tree!

  I cannot remember the name of the software, but there are programs that will create parametric models from generic 3D data.

  These programs take some expertise, cost a lot, and are of unknown abilities though.
