Hi, I have an IGES file.I have to read this file using c++. This basically has the graphics data (data realated to lines and otehr geometric entities) in the form of some numbers. I have no idea how to go about this task. Please do tell me if there is a way to read an IGES file. Thnx in advnce.

If you have the file format specifications and permission to open the file it should be basic programming 101 to code that. If you can't then you need to get some good beginners books or enroll in a University Computer Science program. If you are having a more specific problem then you need to explain what it is so we can help.

Yes there is a way. A. First, I assume you already have a 3D graphic engine to display, huh, 3D. Second, get the IGES specifications, there are a couple of link on the IGES wikipedia page. Third, read and parse the file to extract 3d entities and convert them to you own internal format. B. Get hold of a free converter and convert the IGES file to something you can read. good luck.

Firstly, Thanx for the reply. Actually my task here is i have an input iges file. I have to read the geometry data using c++ from this file and recreate the geometry. I opened the file in a notepad and i found the data is in the form of some kind of numbers. I do not know how to read the geomtry from the file. It wold be very helpfull if you let me know if there are any good links related to this. Thank you.
