Sending and receiving Pro/E or Iges files

Hi all...new to the forum.


I recently set up a new home CAD station. A friend tried to send me a zipped Pro/E file via email. It seemed as though the file I received had been turned into a .DAT file. I tried to send him an Iges file from my system, and the same thing happened on his end. I tried both my MSN and Yahoo email addresses but to no avail. I'm wondering if Windows XP automatically saves files as .DAT files by default. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Send me a copy of what you exported and I will take a look

Thanks, but I got 'er figured out. It was a no brainer. It was just an issue of the XP default settings.
