Can you suppress few components like the fasteners and other small parts which you feel can be eliminated.or may be assembled later if you need them in the new IGES file. Try to create STEP file and chek out for the size...

delete all the cosmetic features like threads,any special sign or symbol,part numbers printed on models...and if there are some parts totaly enclosed and not visible from outside and dosen't effect your purpose..just delete them..... and you said you have so many instances in this part...so just break all the instance first.... "just open the required instance you need and do save a copy...."

thanks, But supress doesn't work, Once the iges created with suppressed parts.When opened in Proe it shows that supressed parts in the Iges model also. Never the less the size also doesnot get affetced much
