  • Its not a secret trick, nor is it a bug, and also not version dependent.  There is a license setting which controls this option.  I cannot explain why LouisD has it set.  I would still like to hear more about why there is a need to export a CAD model which was previously imported.

  • It it's not a "secret", why isn't there a menu button available for the IGES format??  The IGES option exclusively appears within the "save as" Windows prompt.   It is not communicated whatsoever in PCDMIS anywhere else, not even in help (per pic below).

    With those two facts (no menu item & not in help); it's definitely not clearly described nor communicated.  What else would you deem it if it's not communicated at all within the software?

    Also,  and myself just affirmed later version of PCDMIS (using same license, I tried 2023.1) it's not present, whereas within version 2018R2 it is. So it IS clearly revision dependent.

    Here's Help file excerpt (from within 2018R2 which it works on).

     my license file doesn't mention anything about IGES, here's my modules list.
