Extracting wireframe from iges

[MACHINING JIM]

I have a customer that has sent me some iges files and I cannot seem to extract the wireframe. I usually have all files sent in Step format. I simply move all the wireframe entities to another level. Done deal. This method is not working for Iges? What am I missing?

Create >> Curves, all edges, window ALL surfaces.

 

The use delete duplicates as each common edge on a surface model will each get it's own edge curve

There must not be any. Create curve/all edges/all entities.

 

 

Be sure to set cordial dieviation and break angle small to get best results from edgecurve.

 

However adjoining surfaces will make 2 edgecurves that are slightly different. If your tolerances are set tight enough, deleting duplicate entities will fix you up.

 

If you can create solids from surfs, you can then create only one edge curve for the adjoining surfs by creating edge curves on all edges...
