iges (.igs) file import

I normally use .stl files for stock. However, I am experimenting with the igs format to see if I can work with the surface in Vericut and I cannot seem to find it.  I exported a .igs file from Catia which is just a simple cylinder.  I imported it back into Catia to test it and it displays it just fine.  Catia displays all the surfaces of the cylinder.  However, in Vericut (7.2.3) I am able to add it to the tree under stock but nothing appears in the display.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Do you have the VERICUT IGES module licensed?

Not sure, I'll have to check with our IT unless there is an easy way to check.  I do know we do not have a license for .CATPart files because it gives an error 'no license' when you try to load one but with an .igs it loads in the tree no problem yet it does not display on the screen.

See the menu item Help => License for the list of available licenses and their usage.

Re: iges (.igs) file import

Thanks.  I checked and the standard model types like .STL, WRL, IGES are not listed but I know for a fact we have .STL.  Here is the list.  So I'm still unsure if the .igs model is included like the .STL is.
