I know everyone is busy leading up to the stable release, but for anyone interested (including lurkers) my libIGES project is now at a stage where IGES files can be created and part and assembly files can be read and put into a single assembly file. Since everyone implements Native->IGES export differently I need volunteers to download and build the source and to test the library on IGES files from various sources. Any reports of issues will help contribute to a robust IGES exporter and help ensure that various MCAD packages can read the files and convert them into a reasonable native representation.
Source: https://github.com/cbernardo/libIGES Dependencies: + cmake + make + g++ + boost_filesystem, boost_system Some instructions on building and how to help with testing are in the source's README.testing file. At this stage I believe the library has a long way to go before it can provide KiCad with an IGES exporter, but the more people test the sooner I will be able to get it into shape. FreeCAD seems to work reasonably well in displaying files but doesn't support colors, so any colored models used simply look gray in FreeCAD. - Cirilo
