While not exactly a TS to IGES path, the recently announced program ACAD Translator from Access Technologies, Inc., P.O. Box 202197, Austin, TX 78720, (512) 343-9564 is supposed to be able to translate AutoCAD .DXF files to Sculpt-3D format. Since AutoCAD Release 10 is supposed to be able to read IGES, and the Interchange program from Syndesis will handle the Sculpt to TS conversion (with the addition of a TS conversion module), IN THEORY you could get from IGES to TS (whew!). I don't know about going the other direction. Theres's a review of ACAD Translator in the April issue of The Amiga Sentry. It retails for $179.95. I've been considering it for going from our mainframe CAD system at work to the Amiga via a 386 PC running Autocad. Not exactly elegant, but if it works…
