Has anyone managed to convert the McSorely IGES files to DXF or DWG format for Autocad? I have been looking at Sierra based options and think a book front end with a Tiger Avon rear end may be a possibility however I would like to draw it first and i only have Autocad or Vectorworks 9 available neither directly import IGES

TIA

I cant get them to open with autocad or pro engineer. But i would like to veiw them as well if anyone can tell me how to.

I think I have, and if I haven't I think I can. How do I post the file?

I will try this

Its the only iges I can see, but its not complete (no transmission tunnel etc.). The bones are there though, and given the standard of Mr McSorely's work - I would expect it to be accurate.

Right click - save as - open. Or something like that.

nope i get the message "drawing by incompatible version"

Have a look at http://www.guthcad.com/

There you can find a very handy conversion tool called dwgConvert 3.0.

I aslo found 2 drawing on my computer. I don't know if they are any good!

First drawing

Second drawing

And I just found a third drawing.

omega 24 v6, what version of AutoCAD do you have?

I have AutoCad 2000i, but I couldn't open the files, so I had to convert them with dwgConvert 3.0 which I found on http://www.guthcad.com/

But I guess that the drawings are made with AutoCad 2004 or higher.

I think itsR14 i'll just check

Yep r14

Thanks for the tries folks, I can't open these dwgs with either autocad 2000 or autocad lite 2004

Which version of Autocad are u using then?

There's some evaluation stuff here that might be worth a try. IGES viewer It has an online evaluation function or the other bit looks like a time limited demo.
