Hello,
Is there a way to section an assemlby in Inventor?
I know you can create a section view, but I want to export the sectioned model into another program.
Thanks.
Hi! You can create assembly feature like Extrusion Cut at the assembly level to create the section. Then export the assembly as STEP or other CAD formats.
Thanks!

An iam is a native file - simple save the file.
Does the other program you use read an iam file?
STEP does export an assembly.
Make your cut and Save as type STEP (*.stp).
What formats does your other program read?
The program I am importing into is Keyshot. It can handle all Inventor files with no problems. It even has a livelinking option for updates.
However, Keyshot has no sectioning ability, hence me trying to section the work before I export it.
Are you still experiencing a problem - or did you get it solved using Johnson's technique? (you didn't mark his post as the solution)
What issue?
Export?
An Inventor file is a *.iam file.
Simply save the file.
Attach your assembly here (or make one up).
Yes, but when I import it into Keyshot the assembly is a whole assembly again.
It only works if you save as a step file.
