IGES import & drawing display
IGES import & drawing display
(OP)
I have some IGE files from a customer to add to my assembly.
I've tried two different methods of importing:
1. use the open tab and open the iges file
2. use my start part and import it in
Using both methods, the part comes in as a wireframe and shades fine in model mode, but when I bring it up in my drawing, it doesn't show as a hidden in certain views as it should, it stays a wireframe.
Did I miss a config option to import as a solid?
I'm using WF2.
Thanks!

I could add surfaces to make the part solid, but in this case it will be easier for me to just recreate the part in sheetmetal.

I'm using Wildfire 2.0 and all I have to work with are the iges files.
I've tried to "Edit Definition" on the import feature and it gives me the message when I try to manipulate the surfaces: Surface manipulation is not available for selected surface.
There was something in the help files that stated something about changing the meshing of the export iges files to reduce gaps, but I'm importing.
RE: IGES import & drawing display
Select the import feature, RMB/Edit Definition. You have two choices at this point:
Edit/Feature Properties.
Geometry/Heal Geometry/Manual. You have several options, see the help section on these. You may have to run some of them like Zip Gaps more than once. Good luck.

I am still block with "surface manipulation not available...."
Could you be more precise ? I am becoming crazy :)
