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

IMPORTANT! This product has been retired, only limited support will be offered. Purchasing a Subscription is highly recommended since it the most cost effective way of keeping your software up to date. Moreover, Subscription entitles you to get a second free perpetual license for your laptop, among many other benefits. For details please read the SYCODE License and Subscription Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Our licenses are single computer licenses and are locked to each computer they are installed on. Basically, the license key is specific to the computer's Host ID (the MAC address of the computer), and will not work on another computer. The installer picks up the physical MAC address of the network card connected to the computer which is basically “Ethernet adapter Network Connect Adapter”. So unless you change your network card, the key will always work even if you reinstall your operating system. If your internal network is periodically assigning a different Host ID to your computer, then please find a solution for this with your IT department.

Note: Downloading this software indicates your acceptance to the SYCODE Software License Agreement. The price mentioned above is for a single user license. For your bulk-licensing needs please contact us.

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"
