How can you export a single part out of an assembly file in .igs format?
How can you export a single part out of an assembly file in .igs format?
Thank you for your response. My assembly file contains multiple parts. How do export only one of these parts as an .igs file, not the whole assembly file? I want to send somebody a single part in .igs format, not the whole assembly.
Dave,
Find the file in the assembly tree. RC on it and select open then follow
what Anna instructed you to do.
Worked great. Thanks so much for all the responses.
Select the part our of the tree, then save as iges, you will be promt to confirm export only your selection
Hide/Suppress the parts you don't want to export. To do this quickly, select the one you want to export, then right click and select invert selection. This will select the components you don't want to export./ Now do save as IGES and you'll be prompted to show/unsuppress those componenets . Hit NO and then continue. This will create the IGES files with required componenets only.
You can do a save as & it will ask if you want to export selected items only, no need to suppress other parts
Yes that works too but not for older version (AFAIK) but not sure how older so shared another method too.
Open the part file up and Save As, select iges in the Save As Type dropdown.
Cheers,
Anna
