This *IS* the format, but it can be difficult to understand. The standard was designed by commitee and therefore is VERY flexible and contains many ambiguities. I have worked with IGES for many years and the company I currently work for markets an IGES to Postscript Translator. If I can be of any help please mail me at (karen@ice.com) Good Luck Karen PS. the standard takes 4-6 weeks to arrive. ------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Endres | time@ice.com ICE Engineering | uupsi!ice.com!time 8840 Main Street | Whitmore Lake MI. 48189 | (313) 449 8288
