How to Export solids in an assembly to .iges or Step?
(OP)
I have a SolidWorks 2007 assembly of various solid components (I have hidden the internal ones I do not want the customer to get.) that I need to be able to export to an .iges file or a Step file. Can someone please guide me thru this process?

Check the options that are available in the save-as dialog (there is an options button).
If you want to be sure hidden components are not exported, just make a copy of your assembly and delete those components. There may be other ways, but this way can't miss.
