A colleague designed an entire test system here with Inventor.

I only have Inventor 11 on my PC and can not open the files.

Is there any way to get them into Solidworks?  
Solidworks can only open Inventor v.10 or older.

Is there any universal dxf style format that he could save files in  
that would let me import them?
