Does anyone know how to do this? I'm using CADMEP 2021. Drawing attached as well to test with.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks!</P> Thu, 12 Nov 2020 19:50:20 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fabrication-cadmep-forum/help-exporting-item-to-an-iges-3d-model/m-p/9865656#M4632 spencernamcor_us 2020-11-12T19:50:20Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fabrication-cadmep-forum/help-exporting-item-to-an-iges-3d-model/m-p/9922172#M4645 <P>The simple answer is no, you can't do that.</P><P>The Fab Items are their own object type with little information actually in the brep of the 3d model.
