making a drawing from an igs file

I am new to fusion 360 and have a project to make an adapter for a class build.

One of the other students designed the component and sent it to me as an .igs file.

I can open it in fusion but cannot make a drawing to dimension for manufacture.

How can I accomplish this?

I have attached a copy of the file.

more than likely, the IGES file contains only surface bodies, no solids.  You can only make a drawing of solid bodies.

Can you Stitch the surface bodies into a solid body?

Can you request a STEP file rather than IGES?

Can you zip and then Attach the IGES File here?

I was able to get the original Solidworks file from the other student last night.

So I am going to use that instead.
