SIImportIges

file

Description

Imports an IGES file as a model.

This command supports downloading of files from the internet. If the filename specified is a URL then the file will be downloaded locally before the command is executed.

Note: This command uses output arguments. C# and some scripting languages (such as JScript, PerlScript and Python) don't support arguments passed by reference so you need to use the best workaround for your situation:

For scripting languages this command returns an ISIVTCollection which you can use to get the output arguments.

For C# you can use the XSIApplication.ExecuteCommand method to call this command. ExecuteCommand packs the output arguments into a C# System.Object containing an Array of the output arguments (see Calling Commands from C#).

Scripting Syntax

SIImportIges( FileName, [Parent], [Value] );

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
FileName String Name of IGES file to import
Parent String Object or model to use as the parent of the imported IGES model
Value Model Returns the model
