In Inventor 2017, is there any way I can 'Cellophane Wrap' my model?

Is there anyway of exporting only the external geometry from a CAD model?

As in I can give my CAD Model to another company and they cant edit or obtain information from my assembly

Hi if you are looking to provide a customer or other company with a full model they can rotate and view without being able to take dimensions you can export it as a 3D PDF file. this will view and act somewhat like a 3D model but you are not able to place it into a inventor assembly or take dimensions.
Creating a 3D PDF is under the export tab on Annotate.

This isn't the exact process you are looking for but there is the defeature option to hide any inner working and create a dumb solid for the other company/customer/etc.
