Convert IGS to SLDPRT

Understanding IGS and SLDPRT file formats

The IGS file format, also known as IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification), is a widely used file format for exchanging 3D models and CAD data between different software applications. It is a neutral file format that allows for the transfer of geometric data, making it ideal for sharing designs across various CAD systems.

On the other hand, the SLDPRT file format is specific to SOLIDWORKS, a popular CAD software used for creating 3D models and designs. SLDPRT files contain part data, including geometry, material properties, and other design information specific to SOLIDWORKS.

How to convert IGS to SLDPRT

Converting an IGS file to an SLDPRT file involves importing the IGS file into SOLIDWORKS and then saving it as an SLDPRT file. This process allows you to work with the imported geometry within SOLIDWORKS and take advantage of its powerful design tools.

Best software for IGS to SLDPRT conversion

The best software for converting IGS files to SLDPRT files is SOLIDWORKS itself. SOLIDWORKS provides robust support for importing IGS files and converting them into native SLDPRT files. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open SOLIDWORKS.
• Go to File → Open and select the IGS file you want to convert.
• Once the file is open, go to File → Save As.
• Choose SLDPRT as the file type and save the file.

By following these steps, you can easily convert IGS files to SLDPRT format using SOLIDWORKS.
