Creating IGES files of Big Assemblies

[ddeck]

I'm trying to export my assembly as an IGES files so that someone else can bring it into 3D StudioMax. He is creating a DirectX model for visualization purposes.

My question is that he doesn't need alot of the fastners and smaller parts that are in the assembly and sub-assemblies. Is there anyway for me to export only selected parts to the IGES file?

And if possible to avoid alot of extra work or files (if possible)

Hi,

Export in parasolid first (there's an option to export only what is displayed). Then open the x_t in an asm format and save it in iges.

Thanks for the good advice. It made me notice that Options button, which I noticed was also available for IGES.

So you can use that option not export hidden parts with IGES files too.
