Understanding SLDDRW and IGS file formats

The SLDDRW file format is a drawing file created by SOLIDWORKS, a popular CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. It contains 2D drawings and is used to represent the design and layout of parts and assemblies. On the other hand, the IGS (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format is a widely-used standard for exchanging 3D models between different CAD systems. It is a neutral file format that allows for the transfer of geometric data.

Why convert SLDDRW to IGS?

Converting SLDDRW to IGS is essential when you need to share your 2D drawings with users who utilize different CAD software that supports the IGS format. This conversion ensures compatibility and facilitates collaboration across various platforms.

Best software for SLDDRW to IGS conversion

To convert SLDDRW files to IGS, you can use SOLIDWORKS itself, as it provides a straightforward way to export drawings to the IGS format. Follow these steps:

  • Open your SLDDRW file in SOLIDWORKS.
  • Go to File → Save As.
  • In the Save as type dropdown menu, select IGES (*.igs).
  • Click Save to complete the conversion.
