 | CATIA IGES Interface 1 (IG1) is a Platform 1 product which exchanges data in the Initial Graphic Exchange Specification (IGES) neutral format. It helps users working in a heterogeneous CAD / CAM environment. You can read / import an IGES for re-use of geometrical information to create datum feature (wireframe, surface and trim surface) in a part (3D) or a drawing (2D). You can also write / export an IGES file from a part (3D) or a drawing (2D). Microsoft® Windows® compliant access to IGES file through File open and File Save As, users can perform reliable bi-directional 2d and 3D data exchange between dissimilar systems with direct and automated access. IGES Version 5.3 is supported. Features - Supports IGES Version 5.3
- Reduces transfer and clean-up time
- Facilitates the exchange of data between heterogeneous CAD/CAM systems
- Performs 2D and 3D data exchanges
Key customer benefits - Data interface standard
CATIA IGES Interface 1 (IG1) enables you to exchange 2D and 3D data with non-homogeneous systems through a neutral format. The Initial Graphic Exchange Specification (IGES) format, is the most widely used neutral format to transfer data between heterogeneous CAD systems.
- Support of IGES 5.3
The CATIA IGES Interface 1 product supports IGES Version 5.3. With this application, you can share data with other CAD/CAM systems including, AutoCAD, ProEngineer and Unigraphics. When creating a part, extended support of IGES entities handles offset curves and surfaces (STEP parts 140 and 130), IGES skins (143), IGES skin borders (141), and IGES Conics. Colors are preserved, and both Show and No Show management is supported. Enhanced naming management means that IGES and CATIA identifiers are mapped.
- Identical access to IGES data in the Microsoft® Windows XP®and UNIX® environment
Access to IGES data is independent of the operating system. Many CATIA customers work in heterogeneous environments and use outside vendors with dissimilar systems. CATIA strives to provide the tools necessary to perform the job regardless of platform or data format.
- Bi-directional exchange with CATIA IGES Interface 1 (CC1)
You can read an IGES-formatted file and reuse the geometrical information to create datum features such as wire frames, surfaces and trim surfaces. Conversely, you can transform a CATIA V5 part into an IGES file for exchange with outside vendors.
- Reliable data transfer
you can efficiently transfer data between CATIA and IGES formats without fear of imposed errors. IGES Interface 1 exchanges drawing, wire frame geometries and surface elements with reduced transfer and clean-up time.
- Direct access to the IGES format
To facilitate access to data, CATIA Version 5 offers a homogeneous user interface for all specific supported formats. The user interface is presented with a Windows compliant standard (File Open, File Save As) and an automatic recognition of file types (e.g. .igs for CATIA IGES Interface 1 (CC1)).
- Additional interface formats
Along with lGES, additional CATIA Version 5 products support other popular data interface formats, including DXF, STL, VRML, STEP AP203 and others.
