Convert DWG to IV - Professional & Fast Drawing Conversion

DWG to IV Conversion

Three steps are all it takes to export DWG drawings to IV with our powerful exporter:

1. Install Automesher Application

   Export IV files directly from DWG drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD software.

2. Execute IV Export

   Enter AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the 3D entities (e.g., Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your DWG model space that you want to export.

3. Save as IV File

   Select IV (*.iv) as file type, choose the destination folder and file name, then click Save to complete the export.

DWG What is a DWG File? (AutoCAD 2D/3D CAD Drawing Explained)

The DWG file format is a proprietary binary format developed by Autodesk for storing 2D drawings and 3D models in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) workflows. As the native format for AutoCAD, DWG files are widely recognized as the industry standard across architecture, engineering, and construction sectors for their precision, flexibility, and cross-platform compatibility.

Key Features of DWG Files

• Broad Compatibility: DWG files work seamlessly with popular CAD programs like AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and IntelliCAD, ensuring easy sharing and collaboration across different software environments.
• High-Precision Vector Data: DWG files store exact vector-based 2D graphics, 3D models, and rich metadata, making them ideal for detailed blueprints, architectural designs, and complex engineering projects.
• Efficient Use of Blocks: DWG drawings support reusable "blocks" - predefined components like symbols or templates - that help streamline design workflows, ensure consistency, and reduce file sizes.

IV Inventor File

The IV format is a 3D graphics file standard developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for representing complete 3D scenes. As a text-based format, it stores hierarchical scene graphs containing geometric shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and environment properties. Closely tied to the Open Inventor toolkit, this format served as a foundational C++ library for 1990s 3D graphics development.

Key Features of IV

• File Structure: Uses human-readable ASCII encoding with nested node hierarchies that organize 3D scene elements.
• Format Origin: Developed by Silicon Graphics in the early 1990s as the native file format for their Open Inventor 3D graphics toolkit.
• Scene Representation: Implements a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure to define parent-child relationships between 3D objects.
• Visual Attributes: Stores comprehensive material definitions including ambient/diffuse/specular colors, shininess, and transparency.
• Texture Mapping: Supports both procedural and image-based textures with UV coordinate mapping.

IV File Conversion

Autoconverter simplifies the process of converting your 3D models into the IV format, ensuring seamless compatibility with both legacy and modern 3D tools. Our IV files converter preserves your geometry, materials, and scene hierarchy in a human-readable structure that remains editable across workflows. Still using legacy Open Inventor tools?
