Question

IGES Import

Hello,

 I am currently using Creo 5.0.4.0

Users at my company have been through many Creo related changes in the last year or so.

These changes include version upgrades and configurations

Prior to these changes I was able to import IGES data and select flat surfaces on the data for sketching,

extruding etc.

I can no longer do this. Can anyone explain why?

 

Thank You

    This seems to be sue to surface quality, if in case imported surface is not planer, it cannot use for operations as extrude and all... 

    It will  be a good option to confirm about surface quality and I think it will specific top data set or possibly to specific to surface in imported data. Which Creo version are you working with?

    Thank you MaheshSh.

    I am working with Creo 5.0.4.0

    I could understand the surface quality if the data was coming from another software.

    In my situation, it occurs with data from all sources including my own session of Creo.

    If I export data out and bring it back in immediately I am unable to utilize the "flat" surfaces.

    This is true for surfaces that have been created as using "FILL" and "EXTRUDE".

    I believe that the .stp format does not have this issue - only .iges. It seems like the .iges

    format itself has changed.
