Does it have to be AutoCAD, Roger? I don't know what your full toolchain is or what is done in each step, but there are other CAD packages with IGES-import functionality. In the open-source arena, the core Open Cascade project includes competent IGES and STEP translators and is the foundation of other CAD and CAM developments, some very active, some not so much. > As usual, details in, http://abcnc.se/projects/storebro260.html last report > damaged by MS Word, take care... > > / Roger Thanks for the update.
