Types of data imported
The DirectConnect for IGES translator imports ASCII format IGES files with
or without linefeed characters at the end of each record. The software does
not support Binary IGES files.
The software imports NURBS for this file format and maintains the following
information on import:
■ Surfaces and curves
■ Data organization (groups, layers, visibility, and instances)
■ Units
■ Colors
NOTE
■ For information about this data in your Autodesk software, see Locations
of Imported Data
