I am having trouble converting an IGS file, I inserted in a part file, to a solid. Can this be done. I tried to stitch it. I did not have any luck. What do you recommend?

Could you send me the IGES file to johnsonDOTshiueATautodeskDOTcom, so I can
take a look? Also what Inventor release are you on?
Thanks!

"I failed to mention that this particular iges file was generated from zemax. Will this be an issue? "
Joe,
i work at an optics company using zemax and this is an ongoing issue for us as well. my best results have come from having zemax output to a step file, then opening that in inventor. the elements are dumb solids and the marginal rays are not visible. I have tried these zemax outputs in other 3d programs with no success. This doesn't help you much but i feel your pain.
