Native files we would translate into parasolid by way of TransMagic. We found better results by translating the files ourselves than having the submitter translate them before submittal (isn't that a word? Spell check doesn't think so).
Parasolid is a very robust format and seldom gave us any problems.
Iges was used only as a last resort, and even then it was often easier to recreate the file than use the translation, using only key surfaces from the iges file.
I hope that helps some.

I use the other Siemans CAD product than ewh did and would list preferred formats in the same order as ewh.
Not sure all CAD systems support parasolid though.
However, certain industries or even companies have other preferences.
According to our purchasing guy - not that I necessarily believe he knows what he's on about - most of our plastic part vendors prefer .igs.
