IGES Import for AutoCAD - IGES file import plug-in for AutoCAD
IGES Import for AutoCAD
is a plug-in for AutoCAD®. IGES Import for AutoCAD gives AutoCAD
the ability to import geometric data from IGES files.
IGES
files contain graphical data in the form widely accepted by most CAD/CAM
systems. IGES Import for AutoCAD converts this geometric data
into corresponding AutoCAD entities and adds them to the contents of the
currently opened AutoCAD drawing.
IGES
Import for AutoCAD comes with detailed documentation as well as a
tutorial to get you started in
the shortest possible time.

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"
