V5:loosing planer sufaces when exporting to iges??
(OP)
Does anyone know how to export an Iges without loosing planar surfaces. When loading an Iges and just saving to a different Iges name, I run an Iges check program that compares the two files, planar surfaces are missing. Fillet surfaces, holes, wireframe still exist??? I have tried importing the IGES to a CMM program PCDMIS and have the same result.

I am using R12SP4.
I made a pad, extract all surfaces. remode pad. save as IGES. Open the IGES I have all 6 faces.
Is your file clean an updated before your save as IGES ?

Did you check the report after the import of the IGES ? where does the IGES comes from ? (edit the file)
in V5 when you open the IGES, can you see those surfaces, can you analyse them, work with them (split, offset).
did you clean the file after the import ?

I can work with the surfaces after import. Since I am trouble shooting I wanted to reduce the number of variables, so I just open it and ssave under a different name.
I have not cleaned the file after opening. I am not sure exactly what you mean by clean. I appreciate your help!

check the online doc
What about the report after the import in V5 ?
