Import IGES File Dialog
Used to import an IGES file.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Input File | Shows the filename and other information — Author, Organization, Creator, Measuring System, Drafting Standard, IGES Version, Creation Date, Number of Entities, and Time — in the IGES file's global data section. |
| Status | During the conversion, displays messages about its progress, which are also saved in the Log file. |
| File > Settings File > Attach | Opens the Settings File dialog, which is used to attach an import settings file. |
| File > Settings File > Save | Saves the import settings in the attached import settings file. |
| File > Settings File > Save As | Opens the Save Settings File dialog, which is used to save the import settings in a new import settings file. |
| File > Log File | Opens the Log File dialog, which is used to specify an alternate Log file. |
| Settings > General | Opens the IGES Import Settings dialog, which is used to set general IGES import settings. |
| Settings > Solid Modeling Specific Options | Opens the Solids Import Settings dialog, which is used to set IGES import settings related to solid modeling. |
| Settings > Cell Names | Opens the
(IGES Import) Cell Names dialog, which
can be used to customize how IGES
subfigure names are converted to MicroStation
cell names.
By default, subfigure names are truncated. |
| Settings > Exclude IGES Entities | Opens the
(IGES Import) Exclude IGES Entities
dialog, which is used to exclude types of IGES entities — that is, omit
them from the DGN file.
By default, all entities are included. A warning is inserted in the Log file each time an entity is omitted. |
| Settings > Exclude uStn Elements | Opens the Exclude MicroStation Elements dialog, which is used to exclude types of MicroStation elements — that is, translate them to a different type of element(s). Examples are stroking a curved element into a line string or breaking up (dropping) a complex element into its components — done usually because an application does not recognize that particular type of element. |
| Settings > Text Fonts | Opens the (IGES Import) Text Fonts dialog, which can be used to define the MicroStation Font to which an IGES text font(s) are converted. |
| Settings > Levels |
Opens the (IGES Import) Levels dialog, which is used to specify mappings between levels in the IGES file and the DGN file. |
| Settings > Line Styles | Opens the (IGES Import) Line Styles dialog, which can be used to set how an IGES line font pattern(s) are converted to Standard line styles . Standard line styles are those numbered 0-7. The option menus let you choose a line style to which to convert each line font pattern. |
