IGES & Reverse Engineering

We have the need from time to time to share data with acustomer on the form, fit and function of our model/top levelassembly. We don't want to give them anything else, so we save offthe top level assembly as a different name and remove almost all ofthe sub assemblies. We then save as an IGES file and send to thecustomer.

Would making a configuration with suppressed sub assemblies befaster? Could the customer unsuppressed the IGES file and get thedata we do not want them to have access too?
