Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES)

Abstract

This publication announces the adoption of American National Standard Digital Representation for Communication of Product Definition Data, ASME/ANSI Y14.26M-1989, as a Federal Information processing Standard (FIPS). ASME/ANSI y14.26M-1989, more commonly known as the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES), specifies file structure and syntactical definition, and defines the representation of geometric, topological, and nongeometric product definition data. ASME/ANSI Y14.26M-1989 establishes information structures for the digital representation and communication of product definition data. Use of this standard permits the compatible exchange of product definition data used by various computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems.
