An Iges into pro-e is wasted or not Much ?

An Iges into pro-e is wasted or not Much ?

An Iges into pro-e is wasted or not Much ?

(OP)
I am currently using mastercam to push cutters (5 axis) to cut molds. I am trying very hard to learn Pro-e. What do I need to do to use the same iges file in proe ? In MC I move the unwanted part of the model to a hidden layer. What is equiv. in proe ?
I did read where one of you implied an iges in proe was not much to work with. (explain )

RE: An Iges into pro-e is wasted or not Much ?

Exporting a part out of ProE to IGES is pretty straightforward.  If you want to omit features, etc from being exported, use the Suppress command, bearing in mind that suppressing a feature with children will suppress them also (Feature>Suppress>Normal).

Or, in the IGES dialog box you can set a few things that could affect the export...you can also move the feature(s) to a layer and blank the layer, which is similar to your previously mentioned method (View>Layers...).

It completely depends on what you want as a neutral file and where it is going.
