Purchase all the CAD systems so that you may not need converting to IGES. This way your frustration will be subsided.

"It must be smaller than part file!!!"

Why would you say that an ascii text file describing the geometry, with a lot of white space, must be smaller than a part file?

Why would you post an empty zip file?

Why post a topic titled "Need Help"?

Hi jeff4136


I am very sorry.
It must be smaller than part file.OK


But my Iges File is 311KB, my Part File is 119KB.

Iges is not intended to be a compression tool. It is almost a complete opposite. It takes all the data from a ProE cad file and makes it into a generic text format that other tools can recognize. It is inherently larger than the native cad file.

To go off on a tangent...
