RE: Exporting .igs & step files
1. Open the part you want to make a igs / stp of.
2. Right click on the body and click copy (keep the window open)
3. Make a new part.
4. Right Click on the new part and select paste special
5. In the paste special dialog box select AsResultWhitLink and click OK
6. Now you got a new solid whit link to the previous part, right Click on the solid and select Isolate to break all links.
7. Save the new part whit a different name.
8. Close Catia.
9. Open Catia Again
10. Open the new part (the one whit the solid whiteout link)
11. Save this part as igs or stp
This is the way i have been lucky to make the most of my iges or step files.
Hope that it helps.
Best regards

RE: Exporting .igs & step files
About the dialog box : I must admit that i do not have an idea about changing the settings, but have you selected the paste special and not only the paste when you right click on the body.
Sorry that i could not be more helpful in this question.
Best regards

1.Create a new OpenBody and make sure it is emty and active.
2.Isolate the history (specifictions).
Use the command dissasemble in operations in GSD or wireframe and surface design. Choose dissasemble all.
2. Now You should see all the isolated surfaces in the new open body.
3. Delete all the other bodies. (this keeps only the isolated surfaces)
4. Save as iges.
If you want to convert I solid to iges:
1. Extract the surfacecs from the solid withe the extract command in the operations within GSD or wireframe and surface design.
2. do the same as above (converting a iges from surface)

I still have problems with V5R7 with the assemblies but it should be fixed with CATIA V5R8.
