I would use the .Iges file format.

im used to the old days of autocad...need to play with solid edge

can u quickly explame what iges format is? im guess it a 3d drawing?

a .Iges file is a solid modeling file that most 3D Cad systems can load. In other words a person with Solid Edge and load a .Iges file made from a Solid Works file.
