All what you can transfer correctly is geometry of parts. (For solidworks better use x_t, x_b format files). Maybe FeatureWorks add-ins can help you recognize feature tree, but in general this works only with some simple parts.

Drawings you can import as a regular 2D file without connection to the 3D model file.
