Re: how to repair my igs file?
SolidWorks must finish opening the file. It might take more than a couple minutes for a large file. How long have you waited?
Try STP format also if possible.
What is the filesize?
How many surfaces are in the file?
If the IGS was converted from a triangle or polygon based format (ie STL or 3d scan), you may have a huge file with a large number of surfaces. There is a limit in SolidWorks with the number of surfaces, about 15,000 or so for solids, slightly more for open surfaces.

I do'nt access STEP file.
File size is 238KB.
It hasn't many surfaces.

It is doing the same thing to me on SW 2012. Perhaps the file might be corrupt. Try giving the vendor a call to see if they can send you a new file or another format.

The file was actually an assembly of parts (created in Pro/E) with some missing faces.
I combined into one part as I suspected you don't really need as an assembly.

It would be quicker to use the Customer Drawing to recreate the part yourself.

That depends on how accurate you need it to be. There are a lot of dimensions that aren't on the customer drawing.
