Convert IGS to CGR

What is IGS file?

IGS (IGS) is an interchange file format, which represents the industry standard for transmitting 3D information between CAD/CAM systems. It has been developed by the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES), a committee that sets standards for sharing graphical information within various industries. IGS (IGS) files are also often used as a general-format model for various types of objects in 3D printing software programs. [ ⏩ ] IGS file extension

What is CGR file?

The CGR file extension is used byCATIA, a powerful Computer Aided Design (CAD) software owned and developed by Dassault Systèmes. A CGR file contains images and drawings, as well as their associated properties, that are rendered usingCATIA. It stores graphical information like model views, object properties, and animation information which makes it easier to transfer model data between different versions ofCATIA, and also between different CAD programs.

How to convert the file from IGS to CGR?

To successfully convert the IGS file to CGR, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.IGS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CGR (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than CGR).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. IGS to CGR. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting IGS files to CGR files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension CGR, while before this step we had the IGS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CGR file, or not.
