Types of importable objects

All objects as defined in the IGES standard are divided into groups. Listed below are the IGES groups and objects, currently importable by the system.

The following types are imported from the Curves and Surfaces group:

• Circular Arc, type 100;
• Composite Curve, type 102;
• Conic Arc, type 104;
• Copious Data, type 106;
• Plane, type 108;
• Line, type 110;
• Parametric Spline Curve, type 112;
• Parametric Spline Surface, type 114;
• Point, type 116;
• Ruled Surface, type 118;
• Surface of Revolution, type 120;
• Tabulated Cylinder, type 122;
• Transformation Matrix, type 124;
• NURBS-curve Rational B-Spline Curve, type 126;
• NURBS-surface Rational B-Spline Surface, type 128;
• Offset Curve, type 130;
• Offset Surface, type 140;
• Boundary, type 141;
• Curve on a Parametric Surface, type 142;
• Bounded Surface, type 143;
• Trimmed Surface, type 144;

The following types are imported from the B-Rep Solids group:

• Face, type 510;
• Loop, type 508;
• Edge, type 504;
• Vertex, type 502;

This allows the program to work with Manifold Solid B-Rep Object, type 186 as with the set of bounded surfaces.

From the Annotation Entities group no type is imported. These entities are not significant for machining purposes.

From the Structure Entities group only the Color Definition, type 314 entities are imported. This means that model colors in CAM system are identical to the colors used in the modeling program.
