NX9 - Exporting an IGES/STEP File without Extracted Edges from PRT with Drawing

[jmarkus]

I am using the command line/batch translators for IGES and STEP to convert my NX files which contain both drawing sheets and 3D solid models. Because there are extracted edges in my views on my drawing sheets, I get a full 3D wireframe of the parts as well - but this makes the IGES or STEP files very large and is redundant since they simply represent the edges of the solid models.

Is there a way I can exclude extracted edges from my export? I see there is a MODULES_MASK setting in the .def file, but if I omit Wireframe, then it also excludes wireframe defined in my 3D space (not just from the extracted edges).

Thanks,
Jeff

Could you move the extracted edges to a certain layer then add it to the "disable layer" list in the "data to export" options?

Unfortunately, I don't have the option of making any changes to the original NX files themselves, so I was hoping there was some way to exclude them at the command line, or programatically.

Thanks,
Jeff
