• Why do I get text documentation when opening an IGES file?
• Why don't I get a file download box?
• How do I open an IGES file when the file download box does not appear?
• I can save the IGES file but how do I import it into my software?

An IGES file format must be imported into your CAD software, where the file goes through a translation process. Then you will get an image instead of text.

File download box must be turned on.

If the file download box does not appear (this box gives you the option to open file in current location or save file, you want to save the file), try the following:

1. Click onto the desired IGES file.
2. Click the right mouse button.
3. Select "Save Target As"
4. Save image to directory or disk.

Once file has been saved, open CAD software and import the IGES file.

You need to refer to your software manual for help. Each type of software may import images differently.
