You can import iges files by using iges import function.
Command path: File => import => iges
It is nearly similar to stp import options.
Files tab
- Import From: Select the iges file to import. (Click folder box to find iges file in the computer)
- Import to Part: Define the iges files will import in an existed file or New file will be created for iges file.
Work Part: The iges file will be inserted in an existing part
New Part: The new part will be created for the stp file.
Data to Import
- Model Data: Select which model data will be imported. Unselected data won’t import. (Curves, Surfaces, Solids, Coordinate systems, Product data, PMI)
Advanced
- Flatten Assembly: Assembly iges file will open in a single part and all components will be a solid body in the new part. (It might be useful if the model will use in assembly with no change)
- Automatic Sewing of Surfaces: Sometimes there might be some tears or gaps between surfaces. “Automatic Sewing of Surfaces” function sews disconnected surfaces.
- Simplify: Simplifies 3d model.
- Optimize: Optimizes model. I prefer to unclick this option. If it is needed to use “Optimize Face” it can be used after the model opened.
