The IGES File Format

The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) file format standard was developed to address the incompatibility issue with various CAD/CAM systems. This standard allows efficient and accurate exchange of product definition data across almost all CAD/CAM systems. An IGES file is composed of 80-character ASCII records, a record length derived from the punch card era. Text strings are represented in "Hollerith" format, the number of characters in the string, followed by the letter "H", followed by the text string, e.g., "4HSLOT".

IGES 2D Import for AutoCAD Options

IGES 2D Import for AutoCAD enables you to import an IGES file as a 3D solid or a 2D drawing with color and layer information. When importing as a 3D solid model you can import the model as a set of 3D edge curves or a mesh which can be a polyface mesh, a set of 3D faces, a set of lines or a set of points.
