Converting CADAM or IGES Output to a Macintosh


Lockheed's CADAM system and McDonnell-Douglas' Unigraphics can save files
in IGES format. You can then use any of several IGES-to-Macintosh converters
to get the file into a Macintosh. (You can also connect directly to the
CADAM system using a Tektronix 4014 emulator, such as VersaTerm-Pro.)
The CADMOVER utility (from Kandu Software Corp.) can convert:
- IGES -> Minicad and MiniCad -> IGES
- IGES -> DXF
- IGES -> MacDraw
- IGES -> PICT
- IGES -> MSC/pal

Three Macintosh CAD packages that support IGES file format:
- MGM Station Professional (from Micro CAD/CAM, Inc.)
- EZ-Draft (from Bridgeport Machines, Inc.)
- Minicad (from Diehl Graphsoft, Inc.)
