Fixturing issue

How could I post an iges file here for some opinions on how I could fixture a particular part?

[Geof]

If you post a picture as a jpg I can look at it. I don't have the faintest idea how to open an iges file.

Sorry Geof all I have is an iges file and he wants me to quote on it. I can view it as a wire frame and check dims. in my EZCAM software. It's actually a ".igs" extension. Maybe tomorrow I can save it as a dxf file and send it . I dont have my software key here with me tonight.


Thanks

Ok I've saved the file as a dxf. If any one has an idea on how I could hold this part to machine it please let me know.

Thanks

My computer tells me this is an Autocad file and I do not have Autocad so I cannot open it. I think you should be able to save it as a .jpg

I saved the file as a jpg but when I try to open the jpg file it says no preview available, but I'll attach the file anyway and we'll see what happens.

[stebanski]

nope , guess it didn't work.
oh well thanks anyway for your time.

Oh, do you use cam software? It seems that most all cam can import a dxf file.

Thanks again

I'heard that. I'll bet you could figure this out though if you could see it. I've seen your posts and I know you've been around awhile.

Thanks anyway and much respect.
