I am looking to take a large assembly and export it as an IGES file, but also it needs to export out each individual part of the assembly. Cna this be done?
I did a test with saving the assembly out as a parasolid and then imported it back into Solid Edge. I selected an assembly and then it created all of the parts as well as the assembly. is this the corect way to do it?
That's how it works - each part is saved as a new model, regardless of how many times its used.
How it goes into Inventor will depend on how Inventor deals with Parasolids.
I would give a STEP and Parasolid, that way you should be covered.
