I have an assembly file with four parts(All are drawn by solidworks 2014)
and I save the assembly file to igs with the same solidworks 2014.
But I can't open the igs file with the same solidworks 2014.
It says 'Solidworks 2014 has encountered a problem and needs to close'
It keeps crashing......

Lee,
I suspect that your IGES file is corrupt. Try exporting the assembly again.

Hi, Jerry
Thanks for your advice.
But I had tried many times, there is no solution to solve it.
So I save the assembly file(sldasm) to one part file(sldprt), and it works as usual.
Lee,
Welcome to the forum.
What are the options set to when you are in the save dialog window just prior to selecting "OK"?
As an experiment, have you tried saving the assembly file in another format or tried saving the assembly file as a part file then taking the part file and exporting it out as an iges file?
Hi, Scott
I saved it with all default set,just press the save botton. But the saved iges file can't be opened.
I also tried to save it to iges or step files, neither of them can be opened.
According to your advice, I export the assembly file to a part file and then export the part file to an iges file, it works.
Thank you very much.
I am glad that worked for you. Still weird that you can't export this file directly as an iges file.
What you might want to think about doing is starting the Solidworks Rx tool up then go through the same motions you have been doing and see if you can capture this behavior. Then send this Rx recorded file to your VAR for evaluation. See if they see anything that might be easily fixed to make this process easier for you. So you don't have to jump through so many hoops.
Thank you for your advice.
I have tried to,but can't capture a video. it also crashed.
By the way, Could the interface language be the reason?
My system is Japanese Windows 7 professional SP1,but I like to use solidworks with English menus/features/file names.
Could it be the reason for crashing?
You're welcome.
I can't say for sure about your language question, but I seriously have my doubts.
But, I have seen stranger things happen with a computer.
