Convert IGES to DXF: Everything You Need to Know

IGES to DXF: Resources

Below, you'll discover a compendium of resources dedicated to the interoperability and exchange of IGES and DXF file formats. These will aid in the smooth conversion from IGES to DXF files.


IGES File IGS

The IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format serves as the foundational format for data exchange between various systems, including CAD, CAM, and CAE. Since IGES geometry data is stored in a text format, exporting triangular meshes with thousands or millions of faces using our Autoconverter software may result in larger file sizes. It’s important to note that while the IGES format supports color per assembly, it does not include an alpha component. Consequently, any transparency settings will be lost when saving your stunning 3D design in the IGES format.


DXF Drawing DXF

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an ASCII file format developed and maintained by Autodesk. It serves as a conduit for exchanging DWG drawing data between AutoCAD and other programs. This is particularly beneficial as the native DWG file format is proprietary and requires a license to use. With our software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can convert 3D meshes into a set of DXF faces organized in colored layers. This enables further processing and modifications using your default DWG editor.
