Hi all,
I have an .iges file, imported. When I want to make it into a part file, etc., instead og getting to choose from Part, assembly or drawing, I just get part. Below is the link to the file.
I cannot figure out what the problem is.

Thanks in advance...




Thanks,

Rip

You can't import an IGES file to a drawing. If your IGES file has multiple bodies and you want it to open as an assembly, you need to open it through the SolidWorks File->Open dialog. When you change the file type to IGES the "References" button will change to "Options". Click it. Under the General category there is a checkbox labeled "Import multiple bodies as parts". If the IGES file contains multiple bodies, it will import each body as a separate part, and then put them all into an assembly for you. If that box is not checked, the bodies will all come in as one multibody part.
 
Thanks all!

Blimey...how ya been?

Thanks,
