Shade 10 IGES Exporter

From ShadeCamp

Jump to: navigation, search

The IGES Exporter is a legacy plugin in Shade 10 and not included in the default installation of Shade 10.

The IGES exporter is an export plug-in for Shade. When the plug-in is installed, a new menu item “IGES” is added to the Export submenu of the Shade File menu, which allows you to export Shade shape data into the IGES format.

The file output by the IGES Exporter complies with version 5.3 of the IGES format. The correspondence of Shade shapes and IGES entities will be described below.

Surface Subdivision

When you select the IGES Exporter, the Export dialog appears, containing the Surface Subdivision pull-down menu. However, the IGES Exporter exports all the supported objects as parametric surface data without dividing them into polygons. Thus, this pull-down menu setting does not affect the output result.

IGES Exporter Limitations

The IGES Exporter has the following limitations:

  • Polygon mesh objects are not exported.
  • Line objects with the Hole setting are exported as objects without the setting.
  • Boolean rendering is not supported. All boolean characters are ignored, and the objects are exported as-is. | ||
