Requirements for IGES-file

The IGES import module has been developed based upon the specifications of IGES version 5.3. The system imports only IGES files in ASCII format. This means that IGES files, created in compressed ASCII-format or in binary format, will be evaluated by the system as incorrect. The system automatically defines the type of text file (DOS-type or UNIX-type, use different indications of the string end) and correctly loads both file types.
