Hello We are attempting to take an.igs file (3D point cloud) to generate a 3D solid model. Does AUTOCAD have a feature to connect all of the points in a mesh to make a surface. Ideally, we would like to use the point data to create solid. Thank you, Gerald. To export geometrical objects into a BREP, IGES, STEP, STL or VTK file: Select the object you wish to export, then from the File menu choose Export/, where is a name of desirable format. In the Export dialog box define the name and the location of the file to export and press Save. STL (STereoLithography) is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software. This file format is supported by many other software packages; it is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D. IGES STEP Converter is a software to convert between the IGES and STEP neutral file formats. IGES STEP Converter also has a batch conversion tool which can be used to convert multiple IGES.

Read/write to/from CAD files
Project description
The aoc-xchange project provides a Python package named aocxchange to read and writefrom/to IGES, STEP, BREP, and STL files using PythonOCC.
aocxchange can also read 2D foil section definition files (.dat files)
PythonOCC is a set of Python wrappers for the OpenCascade Community Edition (an industrial strength 3D CAD modeling kernel)
Warning
aocxchange can import IGES, STEP, BREP, and STL files. Beware that the import of a similar looking geometry from different filetypes might (and very likely will) lead to a different topology.
For example, the import of 2 distinct solids (closed boxes) will lead to:
- undistinguishable faces from an IGES file
- 2 separate solids from a STEP file
- 2 separate closed shells from a STL file
If working with solids, prefer STEP; you might get away with STL but it will involve extra effort
If working with surfaces, any file type will do. However, remember that STEP and IGES geometry is mathematically definedwhile STL basically stores a bunch of triangles approximating the geometry (which is absolutely fine and evendesirable in some cases).

Dependencies
aocxchange depends on OCC >=0.16 and aocutils. The examples require wx>=2.8 (or another backend (minor code modifications required)).Please see the table below for instructions on how to satisfy the requirements.
package | version | Comment |
---|---|---|
OCC | >=0.16. | See pythonocc.org or github.com.tpaviot/pythonocc-core for instructions or conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/dlr-sc pythonocc-core |
aocutils | latest | pip install aocutils –upgrade |
wx | >=2.8 | See wxpython.org for instructions |
Goal
The goal of the aocxchange package is to simplify the read/write of CAD files using PythonOCC.

Examples
The examples are in the examples folder at the Github repository (https://github.com/floatingpointstack/aoc-xchange).
The wx backend (wxPython) backend is used for the examples that display a UI.You may easily change this behaviour to use pyqt4 or PySide by changing the backend in the call to init_display().
