Tutorial: Importing and Repairing
Solid Geometry
This tutorial walks you through the button-clicks to import CAD data from IGES and make some edits.- From the CD-ROM, open the file called cover.igs. You can open this file by select-
ing it in the Open dialog box (File ➪ Open) or the dragging and dropping it from the
Windows Explorer. - Right-click -the Imported1 feature and run the Import Diagnosis. Notice that Import
Diagnosis finds no errors on the part. - Look at the inside of the part, in the area near the part origin. Notice on one end of
the tab, all the fillets come to a point, as shown in Figure 30.20. This is clearly not
right, although Import Diagnosis did not identify it as a problem.
