Hi folks, The IGES implementation is still very far from what I consider is required for working with KiCad, but I thought I'd share some progress. I'm currently implementing/testing/debugging the creation of a bare PCB model and here is a pathological test case which I have used:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By_XTJN-s8aXZ3VjOXRSdjlEdTA/view?usp=sharing Hopefully I will have cleaned up the code (squashed known bugs) within a week; from there it should be possible to write code to create a bare PCB model and it should even be possible to create PCB assemblies although the library is currently severely limited in the range of IGES models which it can read. Once I have the tools to create the bare PCB model I plan to implement more of the IGES specification so that the library can read a greater range of models. When I'm happy with that then I will finally get onto the Import/Export plugin work. At any rate, it looks like IGES is on track to make it into KiCad by the end of this year. - Cirilo
