Exporting to IGES - HELP
(OP)
I am trying to export a model to an IGES file so that it can be opened in I-DEAS. When I first exported the file, I checked to see if was a success by importing back into SW. It opened with surface errors. Is there any way around this? I am on a tight timeline.
The guys at the I-DEAS station haven't got time to start correcting the files.

I don't know much about IDEAS, but I do export IGES to MasterCam and have no problems.
ifischer,
Please help with the users...this is not a sales convention. You use the same wording on all of your threads. Thank you

Each time I do this, none of the points in the file come in, and the 3d curves that I need are either missing or broken up.
Any ideas?
The curves are min/max 3d curves on the surfaces in order to cnc cut along these curves.

Krustykrabs - other than the fact that we are now in the wrong thread with this and its is getting all mixed up - seems you are trying to do some of your CAM work up front in SW which is not a great place to do CAM work. Why not leave all that stuff to the experts - the CAM software?
