How to convert IGS files to DWG?

Anonymous — Mon, 09 May 2016 06:37:22 GMT

I have some IGS files that I need to convert into DWG files and also REVIT files.

Does anyone know how to do this in Fusion? I can open the IGS files but the file choice to export to does not include .DWG

Any help much appreciated!

@Anonymous: you can try uploading your IGS files into fusion, once done, those files should have been converted into fusion design, then you can go to A360 site (myhub.autodesk360.com), download the file as DWG or other formats.

Thanks Joseph for your quick reply.

I downloaded Fusion 360 but there is no button for uploads only File Open if that is what you mean (sorry newbie)?

Also the screenshot you sent doesn't look anything like my Fusion 360 (on a Mac) see here:

Hi Simonbando:

You can import your IGS from the data panel on the left side of Fusion

And you can refer to the link here for the detail of how to use import feature in Fusion.

Once it's done, you'll find the design you just uploaded shows up on the data panel.

then click on the "i" icon, click "Open detail in A360"

then you'll find that your browser is opened which will bring you to the site we called "A360", and you can click the download icon on the upper right corner of the page:

Please let me know if you have any problem, thanks.
