Abstract :
The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification has become the most widely accepted means of transferring data between dissimilar CADCAM systems. This article reports the results obtained from a study of IGES Version 2.0 transfers between two commercial two-dimensional systems. A large number of test files were created and transferred, and by progressively modifying each file the boundaries of successful transfer were explored. The study showed that while data can be transferred there are some limitations.
