“…The second reason is that some of the IGES entities which are supported by some CAD systems are not supported by other systems. This also means that some IGES entities of the sending CAD system will be dropped because they cannot be post-processed into CAD entities of the receiving CAD system [10,12]. This problem is mainly due to the fact that IGES is designed to cover different areas of applications and each CAD system supports only the set of IGES entities which is needed by the system.…”

EXCAP, is a knowledge-based process-planning system for rotational components. CADEXCAP is software which has been developed to integrate EXCAP with CAD systems via IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification). CADEXCAP deciphers a full 2D model of a turned component developed on a CAD system and then via IGES it fully automatically generates a product model in a format suitable for EXCAP.CADEXCAP has a modular structure of three modules: "readiges", "preprocess" and "postprocess". The "preprocess" module, which is the concern of this paper, was written in FORTRAN77 to pre-process the IGES entities. The preprocessing process includes two main tasks. The first task is to extract only the necessary information from the 1GES entities. The second task is to locate the entities in one coherent coordinate system, which is the model space coordinate system, using transformation matrices.

Thus some IGES entities of the sending CAD system will be dropped because they cannot be postprocessed into CAD entities of the receiving CAD system [8,10]. This is mainly because IGES is designed to cover different areas of applications, and each CAD system supports only the set of IGES entities which the system needs.…”
