I have a .iges file of a kayak and I need to convert it to .sldprt and get the features off of it. Whats the best way to do this?

Use FeatureWorks. (Tools > Add In) Must have SW Office Professional or above.

IGES files are BREP and surface data only. You can try featureworks, but it's not particularly good at recognizing organic curves and faces
you will probably need to recreate your boundary curves in the 3D sketcher and build the model up from them.
Did this come out of a naval architecture program?
