    Just started SW2005. Having trouble reading IGES (assembly files).
    Translating single part seems to be no problem...
    Didn't have this issue in SW2004.
    Anyone knows what's the fix?

    TIA

    Are you sure it's not the IGES file? Is this an IGES assembly you have
    previously brought into SW successfully? Try an IGES assembly that you
    know has worked in the past to see if SW is th problem.

    Pretty sure this is not IGES, but SW itself. STEP works fine with the
    same assemblies. I also managed to translate IGES assembly, however
    all my custom System settings got screwed up :( - document templates,
    color schemes - all gone.
    Hope, SP1 will fix the problem. Running on Win2000 by the way...

    I almost always have trouble with IGES imports with SW...so now I avoid it
    like the plague. "Oil & water", man. Try to get the STEP or SAT files
    instead.
