Files with .SLDDRW extension store 2D drawing of a part of 3D project or SolidWorks assembly with additional information such as properties, designer, or creation date. Users can add views, layers, or comments to drawings.
IGS file is a graphics file encoded in IGES format, and is used in CAD software environment to store 2D/3D vector image data. The file can contain various data for the project, such as wireframe models, surface or solid objects representations, circuit designs, etc.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the SLDDRW file after converting to IGS may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from SLDDRW to IGS to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting SLDDRW to IGS does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in SLDDRW format, properly converted to a IGS file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file SLDDRW the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of SLDDRW file to other than IGS. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your SLDDRW file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to IGS on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the SLDDRW file in its original format (without conversion to IGS file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
