Export an .Igs with levels

Export an .Igs with levels

Export an .Igs with levels

(OP)
Ok, here's the deal.  I want to make an .igs file of my assembly.  No problem.  But, now I want each part on a seperate level in my .igs file.  The help file wasnt much help, so now I'll throw it to you experts.  Do you know a solution?

RE: Export an .Igs with levels

I can't offer much help in this because I am not sure what you mean by "seperate levels" in your .IGES file.  Can you explain that a bit more for me, since I've never heard of that terminology before?

RE: Export an .Igs with levels

.igs files have "levels".  Levels are the equivalent of "layers" in Autocad.  Levels can be turned on and off to help seperate items.  I dont know what more there is to tell you.  If you import an .igs into solidworks, it allows you to choose which levels you import, so why couldnt it allow an export to seperate levels?

RE: Export an .Igs with levels

I don't do much importing or exporting (if I do it's always parasolid), so thanks for the explaination.
