Excellence in Design Award 2010-SolidWorks to Inventor
I am interpreting the rules for the Excellence in Design Award to mean that you can NOT submit for this award unless it is in Inventor files.

Does anyone else see it that way?

Our team has been using Solidworks since day one for digital prototyping and we didn't realize since Autodesk was sponsoring this award that we would HAVE to use their programs. The details didn't come out until Kick-off and none of our team members know Inventor. This doesn't seem fair to all the teams (esp. some threads that I have read saying that some states may even be excluded from this "contest").

Does anyone have any help with how to convert SolidWorks 2009 files to Inventor 2010? We only have 3 weeks until this submission, so we want to see if it is even worth the try to take the time to convert everything.
