Greg, I have been off the forum a few days and I am just getting around to all my mail. The IGES translator that is built into the AutoCAD program has been around before the days of DXF file format. This DFX file format has now become the standard and IGES is going away. I heard that Release 12 was the last release that supports IGES. There is a third party software company that is doing the conversion and is more up to date with the IGES standard I think it is up to version 5.xxx now. Where AutoCAD was only on version 2.xxx I am not even sure if it supported 3D entities. Do not quote me on this information I have been away from AutCAD for a while now and this is the best I have to offer.
