Can you import igs files? - OldGuy - 01-28-2013

Hi:

I have a set of files for a first project which are .igs files. Now, how can I get them into Wings 3D?

I searched the forum and came up with nothing.

Thanks,

OG

Since Wings isnt able to read IGES files, either DWG, maybe you can try to find a way to convert you igs to STL format and then import them (just theory, once i havent tryied it).

EDIT:
There is a free software that promises to open IGS and save them as STL: HeeksCAD.

About: https://sites.google.com/site/heekscad/Details
Installer: http://heekscnc.googlecode.com/files/HeeksCNC%200.13.0.exe

Maybe you could provide a 3d igs file to test if HeeksCad can convert it to STL format and if Wings can import it...
