2D IGES: FAQ

Import

 
  • Question:
    In export/import loops, the format of the model is modified  at the re-import in V5.
  • Answer:
    The format is modified because V5 computes the best possible format to adjust it to the model.
 
  • Question:
    How are associative dimensions dealt with?
  • Answer:
    They are not supported.

Export

 
  • Question:
    In export/import loops, coordinates of points have changed.
  • Answer:
    The export does not yet support views.
    The geometry of each view is transferred as seen in the input sheet axis system.
    In this case, the coordinates that were seen in the view axis system are not kept: we get coordinates in the sheet axis system.
 
  • Question:
    I export a view with a scale 2:1, with geometry in it. The result is not a view with a scale 2:1 but geometry twice as big as the input geometry.
  • Answer:
    The export does not yet support views. The geometry of each view is transferred as seen in the input sheet axis system. In this case, the scale of the view has been applied to the geometry.
