IGES

 

The IGES interface reads IGES files and translates them to Open CASCADE Technology models. IGES files produced in accordance with IGES standard versions up to and including version 5.3 can be read.

The interface is able to translate one entity, a group of entities or a whole file.

Before beginning a translation, you can set a range of parameters to manage the translation process.

If you like, you can also check file consistency before translation.

The IGES interface also translates OCCT models to IGES files. IGES files produced by this component conform to IGES standard version 5.3.

Other kinds of data such as colors and names can be read or written with the help of XDE tools IGESCAFControl_Reader and IGESCAFControl_Writer.

Note

It is possible to learn more about the IGES interface from IGES User's guide
