The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) is a file format. It allows exchange of information among computer-aided design systems. IGES is vendor-neutral. It is an ASCII-based textual format. Engineers use CAD software to create images, like drafting and blueprints.
IGES files store surface information for models. They also store wireframe, solid model, and circuit diagram information. IGES files are in ASCII text format. They are based on IGES standard. IGES outlines file format. It is for geometry data transfer in CAD models. It was last published as version 6. IGES represents Boundary and Solid geometries. The file format is ASCII text. Each line is 80 characters long.
Files with .iges extension exchange design information between CAD applications. IGES means Initial Graphics Exchange Specifications. IGES exchanges models for analysis, drawings, and manufacturing functions. It can exchange both 2D and 3D information. The IGS file format is a 3D Image Format. But other programs also handle IGES files.
