Hello,

In Creo parametric while importing IGES file to assembly the only constraint I get is tangent constraint. Pl help me some solution to solve this problem or Is there any other method to use IGES file in assembly with all assembly constraint(coincident, distance, parallel, oriented, etc).

Thank you,

Dina.

Is the imported IGES file coming in as a solid body or a surface model?

I can see if a surface model that tangent would be the only constraint available.

Whether it is solid body or surface model It assembles only with tangent constraint.

I tried with exporting & importing with different option but it shows the same.

When importing Iges, import profile options may affect the surface was generated. You can try importing the Iges with option "Keep B-Spline Surfaces" as uncheck in Import profile.

I tried importing with B-spline option as unpick but its not working It assembles with tangent constraint only.

I tried with all option of importing & exporting with IGES files but its not working.

Can you share the file to review?

Had this same issue. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS329701 reports that "Simplify Surface" helps, which solved the problem on our end. We were in the middle of setting up .dip files to be "clean" (external accuracy only, no other "helpful" fixes), apparently the Simplify Surfaces one is worth keeping.
