Problem export to IGES and I-DEAS
Problem export to IGES and I-DEAS
(OP)
Has anybody been asked to export files (parts mostly) to I-DEAS and had problems at the other end. I am importing a set of part files that were exported from Solidworks to IGES and I have trouble importing the larger files (over 4 MB).
Has anybody found a solution to export to I-DEAS otherwise or is there a way in the settings for export whereby the IGES files will be smaller?
Thanks

STEP?
Parasolid?
ACIS?
What Options do you have set on export of the IGES in SWx?
surfaces?
solids?
Have you tried with a simple IGES cube from SWx, maybe the file size isn't the problem at all?
Can you attach the IGES here?
RE: Problem export to IGES and I-DEAS
Thanks for the answer. My version can accept VDA and SET too, I have never used them though. Can Solidworks export to these formats?
Now I am not sure it is the file size because I have just imported and 11Mb IGES file. Maybe some of the files are corrupted but the software says there were no errors when importing them, the parts are just not there. Or there could be something in the parts (funny surfaces or something) that makes them fail.
I can choose whether to import as solids or surfaces but both fail
See if the site will allow me to post an IGES file here. It is one of the files that failed. Maybe you can try and let me know if you can import it into any system then I will know if the file is fine or not.
No, cannot upload it. Below is a link to it. It lasts 3 days only

BTW - if you right click on the IGES file in Windows Explorer and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder the resulting file is less than 1 Meg for faster uploading and downloading.
RE: Problem export to IGES and I-DEAS
I will go back to the person who created the files.
Can you tell me if in Solidworks, when you export parts, can you select what tolerance you want?
Thanks for testing importing the parts.
