      </table><br><div class="title_division">Object types</div>
      <p class="para_division">These check boxes let you select the type of NX data to export to IGES.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is to export all object types.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Specify layers to export</div>
      <p class="para_division">You can limit the data you export by only specifying the layers that contain the appropriate information. You can enter layer numbers or layers ranges separated by commas. For example, 1,5,88&ndash;109,190&ndash;199,201,206&ndash;210 is a legal specification.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The default setting for <b class="uiTerm">Layers to Export</b> is 1&ndash;256.
      </p>
      <div class="title_division">Flatten assembly</div>
      <p class="para_division">Normally, NX components are exported to IGES as nested sub-figures to retain the assembly structure. If you check this option, then the NX components writes to the IGES file as expanded geometry without any assembly structure.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is not to flatten the assembly but to output the components as nested subfigures.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Drawings to export</div>
      <p class="para_division">You can either select <b class="uiTerm">All Drawings</b> or you can <b class="uiTerm">Enter Drawings to Export</b> by giving specific names. Drawing names separate by commas. The drawing name list applies to all files selected for export.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is to export all drawings.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Views to export</div>
      <p class="para_division">You can chose to export the <b class="uiTerm">Standard Views</b> (TOP, FRONT, RIGHT, BACK, BOTTOM, LEFT, TFR&ndash;ISO, TFR&ndash;TRI) and / or you can name specific <b class="uiTerm">User Views</b> to export. The views names are comma separated and exported if it exists in the file(s) being exported.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is to export all <b class="uiTerm">Standard Views</b> and all <b class="uiTerm">User Views</b>.
      </p>
      <div class="title_division">Assembly options</div>
      <p class="para_division">These options let you decide to use the load_options.def file when NX is run, or you can specify options that will apply only to the translation. There are times where you may be exporting information, but not have the same environment used to create the information originally. Also you may not want to export all of the components and these options let you control the export operation without having to create special load_options.def files in NX.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The assembly control options have the same impact as when used with NX to load assemblies.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is to use the NX load_options.def.</p>
