IGES Import Options dialog box

Specifies the import criteria to apply to IGES files selected for the import task.

Specifies the data types to import and how data is grouped in Autodesk Inventor LT. The file type selected for the task determines the available options. A translation report is generated that includes:

• Information about the imported data and its quality
• Import options used
• A list of the parts that were created in Autodesk Inventor LT
  Note: If an imported file contains an assembly, Autodesk Inventor LT imports the assembly as a single part
• Time taken for import
• A list of warnings and errors found during import

You can save the report to disk in an HTML format and embed the report in your new part or assembly document.

Access:
	With one or more IGES files selected in the Import Task dialog box, click Options.

Entity Types to Import
Select to import the entities: Solids, Surfaces, Wires, Points.

Units
Specifies the units to use for non-native data in the import file.
Import Units	Provides a selection list of units. If you select a unit type different from the one specified in the import file, you convert the parameter values in the import file.

Post Processes
Specifies the processes to perform on the files you import:
Check Parts During Load	Select to perform a quality check on the imported data. Checks each body within a composite until it locates a bad body. Marks the bad body with a white “i”, and the check stops.
Enable Advanced Healing	Select to perform operations like retrimming surfaces, reconstructing spline surfaces, reintersecting surfaces, and so on, to make imported models watertight and usable in Inventor. Due to the nature of the operation, alters some of the geometry slightly.
