IGES to KMZ
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to IGES and KMZ interoperability and exchange that could help you with the IGES to KMZ 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.
KMZ Google Earth Placemark
KMZ (Google Earth Placemark) file format for Google Earth and Google Earth Pro allows you to store geographical data including point, line string and polygon geometry in the optimal way regarding the file size in the comparison to KML file format thanks to the ZIP file compression. Our Automapki Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD and ZWCAD allows you to import KMZ maps into DWG model space and recreate every point, line string, polygon and Collada DAE model geometry saved in the optimized KMZ file. The Automapki Application can also export your point, polygon, curve and image DWG drawing entities to the compressed KMZ file format which can be processed further in Google Earth.
