Blue Daggers Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi all, I have asked to amend a drawing, which consists of lots of square tube sections and other stuff, however I have received it in IGS format. I have got it to open in AutoCAD by first opening it in Inventor, then using the 'Save Copy As' command to save it as a DWG. However, instead of it consisting of solid tubes which I assumed it would be for me to easily amend, it's all surfaces. I can't find a way of opening it as a solid model (maybe the file type doesn't allow it anyway), nor can I seem to convert any of the surfaces into a solid. I have attached a sample tube from the drawing, can anyone work out how to turn it into a solid? I am moderately experienced at solid modelling fram scratch, but I've never come across something like this before. Thanks in advance for any advice.

JD Mather Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 This is a little old http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=class&session_id=3056 but you will need to get the surface bodies stitched to solids in Inventor or Inventor Fusion. Attach IGES here if you can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
