You don't mention what version of Creo or Wildfire or even Pro/Engineer you are running.

For myself, using Creo 4.0 it is done using File->Save As->Save a Copy, changing the type of file to IGES and hitting OK. This is how you save a file to any of the other formats Creo can output, like PDF, DXF, etc.

Just don't expect the output to be perfect - some of the leader lines in IGES drawing exports look odd when you read them back into Creo.

I don't know what you might be doing wrong. The steps I use are as follows:

(1) Load in the DRAWING file, not a part, not an assembly, but a .DRW.

(2) Execute the command File -> Save As -> Save a Copy

(3) For the Type field, pick the entry IGES (*.igs)

(4) Hit "OK".

(5) An "Export Environment for IGES" dialog pops up.

(6) If your drawing has more than one sheet, you'll want to click on that tab and select the "All sheets" radio button.

(7) Hit OK and your IGES file is created.

 

To check out the results, read the IGES file back into Creo as a Drawing file and all should be okay. I tried it with a drawing with multiple sheets, bill of materials table, etc. and all was fine.
