IGES to AutoCAD
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to IGES and AutoCAD interoperability and exchange that could help you with the IGES to AutoCAD conversion.
IGES File
IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is the initial file format for the data exchange between different systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the geometry data are stored in a text file format, you will get bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using Autoconverter software. The IGES file format supports color per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the IGES file.
AutoCAD Drawing
AutoCAD is a leading CAD (Computer Aided Design) software program developed and maintained by Autodesk. It supports the native DWG drawing format which is capable of storing 2D and 3D geometry data along with the additional project metadata. Our Automesher Application and Automapki Application software allows you to import and export from many external file formats into AutoCAD drawing model space. For the best integration with the AutoCAD environment and the most optimized translation from the external 3D file formats we use the most advanced ObjectARX customization technology from Autodesk.
