Auto Cad CMM importing

Auto Cad CMM importing

(OP)
We have a Faro CMM and need to import drawings from Auto Cad (release 14) but the CMM software is asking for an IGES format.  Auto Cad does not export this and I am searching for a translation software to convert Auto Cad DWG to IGES.  So far no luck.  Hope I'm in the right forum.
Thanks
Mark

RE: Auto Cad CMM importing

Hi
you can USE autocad mechanical for solving this problem.because IGES is an global interface standard between  cad/cam software and alomost of the sofware have the ability of reading and writing with iges format.
and u can use autocad2000 or autocad 2002 and mechanical desktop 4 or 6.
the command is "IGESOUT" OR "IGESIN"

Rhino 3D will do it. You can open the dwg file and save it to iges.

They have a 30 day trial at (I think) www.rhino3d.com

You won't be able to save though on the trial version, but there are, ahem, ways around that for a temporary use...though of course doing that is illegal and I would never recomend that course of action. Oh no.

Actually, the Rhino trial version is for good for 25 saves, not 30 days.
