Curious because I see that Alias has these IGES & STEP in native.
Why not take these for a direct importation in Moi?

.wire is the default binary filetype for Alias... You will want to open then file in Alias and export to a format that MoI reads..

Thanks chaps just downloaded an Alias trial.

Should be fine from here.

Hi sticklebrick - yeah the native Alias wire files are not supported by very many other programs. Usually whoever sent you the file should be aware of this and would have sent you the file in one of the more commonly used formats like STEP or IGES.

Other than Alias itself, I think it's possible to set up the Polytrans program from Okino to read in .wire files as well:
