Iges export provides a compatible file with 3D entities, which you can open in most CAD/CAM programs. These features represent the actual measured features in your part inspection program.
When you have completed the measurement of features, select from the pull down menus:
[File->Export->Iges].
You will be prompted to enter a file name and location and Geomet will display a progress dialog, which will update as each Iges feature is created.
On long inspections, such as scanned data point clouds, the writing of the file can be lengthy. For example, A typical data point cloud of 28,000 points takes an average of 2:09 minutes!
With this release, Geomet exports the following entities:
