Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DXF Polygon Mesh to IGES Surface ?

I got it open and converted it to an IGS file, but Bobcad 20 said there were open entities (some lines don't connect) when trying to create surface or render it as a solid. It would take alot of editing to fix it. It may have became this way during the transfer. I don't know if it is just Bobcad, but I never have much luck importing solid/3D files created with other programs. The english metric issue plays a big part I think.

rhino will read the file no problem but the iges
format doesn't really support meshes. you need to
covert the meshes into sufaces, this can be
accompished in Rhino.
