Just needed to do this and found a good way to extract all of the edges from a solid.

1. Search using "CTRL+F"

2. Under the 'Advanced' tab set the 'Workbench' = 'Topology' and the 'Type' = 'Edge'.

3. Look in the area to would like i.e. 'Visible on Screen'.

4. "Search and Select" the edges in the desired area.

5. With all of the edges selected, select the 'Extract' tool and all of the edges will be extracted.

6. Hit 'OK'

Done!

Nice. Easier than saving as IGES and making a new file.

What "Topology" means in this context?

Thanks!

The poor man's definition of Topology is "Geometry" (such as points, lines, curves, surfaces, etc)
