Is it possible to export an Assembly to IGES with the "All Parts" preference set but prevents CREO from making "_cpy" parts where there are duplicates?

I want every part made into IGES but only of each part.
 
As far as I know, IGES doesn't support the notion of a single part in multiple places. It probably records the translated and rotated geometry for each part in its assembled location. I expect each part file has different contents that represent the translation and rotation.

STEP, on the other hand, does seem to record translation and rotation for each assembled part and so can use only one file for them.

See for IGES format details.
