Using the Standard IGES Export Option

Standard IGES Export gives better support of 2D annotation (dimensioning) while the New IGES Export may offer better results with certain types of surface models.

To use the standard IGES Export:

1. In the Options menu click Preferences. In the dialog that appears, click to uncheck New IGES Export in the General tab. (This setting is retained until you change it.)

2. Use Save As to save your part, setting the Save File as Type parameter to IGES File (*.igs or *.iges).

3. Complete the standard IGES Export dialog that opens. For full details click the dialog's Help button, or click here.

IGES files will be output in IGES version 5.2 format.
