Are there any Windchill APIs to convert EPMDocument contents into IGES file format.

In 10.1 and later, you can use additional file type publishing to create the IGES file: https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS81396. You can use something like this to get the IGES file from the published representation: https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS113634.

This is what we use to get the plt/hpgl and dxf from the default drawing rep:

private static boolean extractContent(EPMDocument EPMDoc, String dlLoc, Date currentTS, String drwNo, String drwRev) {

  boolean fileFound = false;

  try {

   Representation defaultRep = RepresentationHelper.service.getDefaultRepresentation(EPMDoc);

   System.out.println("Obtained Representation");

   if(defaultRep != null) {

    //drwRev is actually the version (revision.iteration), e.g. 00.1. Uncomment the following lines to remove the iteration.

    //if(drwRev.contains(".")){

    // drwRev = drwRev.substring(0, drwRev.indexOf("."));

    //}

    ContentHolder holder=ContentHelper.service.getContents(defaultRep);

    Vector contents=ContentHelper.getContentListAll(holder);

    ApplicationData data=null;

    System.out.println("Size of all contents: "+contents.size());

    for (int i=0;i<contents.size();i++) {

     if (contents.get(i) instanceof ApplicationData) {

      data=(ApplicationData)contents.get(i);

      String empRepfileName = data.getFileName();

      String fileName = drwNo;

      if (data!=null && (empRepfileName.endsWith("plt") || empRepfileName.endsWith("dxf") || empRepfileName.endsWith("_dxf.zip"))) {

       Date docTS = toDate(data.getModifyTimestamp());

       System.out.println("doc timestamp--"+data.getModifyTimestamp()+" current timestamp :"+currentTS);

       System.out.println("file name before change: "+empRepfileName);

       if (docTS.after(currentTS)) {

        fileFound = true;

         if (empRepfileName.endsWith("plt")) {

         fileName = fileName+".hpgl";

        }

        else if (empRepfileName.endsWith("dxf")) {

         fileName = fileName+"_"+drwRev+".dxf";

        }

        else if (empRepfileName.endsWith("_dxf.zip")){

          fileName = fileName+"_"+drwRev+"_dxf.zip";

        }

        System.out.println("file name after change: "+fileName);

        File saveAsFile = new java.io.File(dlLoc+"\\",fileName); // input your location and file name

        ContentServerHelper.service.writeContentStream((ApplicationData)data, saveAsFile.getCanonicalPath());

        System.out.println("Download Step Executed.\n");

       }

      }

     }

    }

   }

  } catch(java.lang.Exception exception) {

   exception.printStackTrace();

  }

  return fileFound;

}

Thanks, Darrell

Will give a try.
