IGES

(Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) An ANSI file format that is system independent and also intended for human interpretation. Evolving out of the U.S. Air Force's Integrated Computer Automated Manufacturing (ICAM) program in 1979, IGES was designed as a neutral format for the exchange of CAD models. IGES has been superseded by STEP. See STEP and PDES.

Supported file types include CATIA V4, Unigraphics, Pro/Engineer, ACIS, Parasolid, STEP, IGES, STL, HSF and optional CATIA V5.
A file can be translated from a neutral file format such as IGES to another CAD or neutral format.
Why you should care: VEGA reduces programming time and data entry errors by importing IGES and Parasolid CAD models created by in-house designers or customers.
