I am having trouble importing an IGES drawing into Solidworks.
When I click on the file to open it I get a warning saying "This file contains free curves/points which are not desired accourding to the import options. Do you wish to import them away?" I click yes, then it brings me to New Solidworks Document and the only option I get is "new part". If I click on "part" it imports in most of the lines.
Please help I am sure I am doing something wrong, I am not used to working with IGES files.
Thanks
Jodi
What end result are you looking for? A full feature tree that will be editable? If so you will need to import it as a part and use featureworks to try to get an editable history. I have found the interactive one works pretty well for me after alittle tinkering around. Their are also options for importing IGES files in system options.
