Sadly, Solidworks Student edition (the free one, which it sounds like he has) only supports .sldprt, .sldlfp, .prtdot, and edrawings. Which are all Solidworks formats. If you buy the student edition, then you get other export features like .iges, .step, ...

Solidworks 2009 has a Collada export feature, if that does you any good. It's a Solidworks Labs feature.
