IGES Import for IntelliCAD - IGES file import plug-in for IntelliCAD
IGES Import for IntelliCAD is a plug-in for IntelliCAD® powered
applications. IGES Import for IntelliCAD gives IntelliCAD 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 IntelliCAD converts this
geometric data into corresponding IntelliCAD entities and adds them to
the contents of the currently opened IntelliCAD drawing.
IGES Import for IntelliCAD is very easy to use. Once installed,
it must be loaded into the IntelliCAD environment. There are simple
instructions for this in the Getting Started document which can
be found in the installation folder. Once loaded it adds new commands to
IntelliCAD's existing commands and a new submenu called "IGESImport" to
the IntelliCAD menu containing these newly added commands.
IGES
Import for IntelliCAD 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"
