Oh dear god!  Yeah I dont even know where to start on promoting surfaces, way beyond what I know how to do.

However I dont necessarily need to break the part into pieces.

What would work the best for me would be this:

-How to I take the .igs and convert the flat surface views in to a DWG that I can open in AutoCAD 2010 Pro.  I have to take these models and turn them into 2D CAD build order sheets for prototype production.

I am running really short on time and you guys are the only forum that has even posted a reply to my question. (which I think is really sh*tty). 

Anyway I need to know how to do that more than anything else, since I have very little time before I have to have this part ready, could somebody please help me with this issue.

Thanks,

Stephen

I am having in a problem with a file that a large client of mine sent me via "yousendit" in a .igs format. When I open it with Inventor 2010 Pro, the part is all yellow and semi-transparent.  I have tried everything that I know of to change it into a standard viewing format but I cant get anything to work.  Google was no help either. I am not a big Inventor user so any solutions you can offer please act like your talking with a 10 year old! lol  Again I am a total Autodesk Inventor Pro Newb! Thanks in advance for any help any of you can offer!!! -Stephen

Try to save as any other format and open again with Inventor.
