I too am having problems opening it in full Solidworks.

OK Guys what is your Solid Works 3 & 4 letter file extension?  I also have a
few native file extensions such as .stp, .step, .dwg, .stl, .slc .dxf.

Here is an iges that is Solid Works specific. If this does not work
Solid Works changed their file format which is not surprising as ACAD
did that a couple of times busting backward compatibility.

Ken,

I went to Rhino's site.  www.rhino3d.com and got their eval to
view the file.  They have a free importer to import the files
into solidworks.  I'll try the importer tonight.

You mean to tell me John, Solid Works does not import iges files. I think
you need to check again. It worked for me in the past.
