File conversion expertise
Require FreeCAD expert to convert a 10mb .IGS file to an Autocad .DWG or .DFX file.

Hi Bruce, welcome to the forum.
You can import IGES. AFIK you can export only 2D DXF.

Re: File conversion expertise
And this is beyond my expertise. Interested in helping out?
My interest is in advancing the project, not learning CAD systems. We are involved in a design project. I need additional work done to advance the project.
Re: File conversion expertise
Assuming the IGS file contains 3D data, FreeCAD cannot export 3D data to DWG nor to DXF, if "DFX" was a typo. A commercial program is needed.

Re: File conversion expertise
It is definitely a 3-D model of an agricultural processing machine. Can you suggest a solution?
Re: File conversion expertise
You need to find someone with access to a commercial program that can import IGS and export to 3D DWG/DXF.
I have access to commercial CAD software at work and I'm willing to give it a shot if it doesn't take too long, but I can't export to 3D DWG/DXF, only to SAT. AutoCAD can import ACIS (*.sat) files, if that's the software being used.
