How to Convert IGS into CDR
IGS (IGES) files are 3D CAD models containing curves, surfaces, and geometry. CorelDRAW is primarily a 2D vector graphics editor, so IGS files must be projected or exported as 2D vector or raster formats before importing into CorelDRAW.
1. Open IGS in 3D CAD Software
- Open the IGS file in software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360.
- Adjust the view, orientation, and scale of the model.
- Choose the angle or projection you want to convert to 2D.
2. Export as PDF, SVG, or Image
To make the IGS model usable in CorelDRAW:
- Export the 3D view as PDF, SVG, or high-resolution PNG/TIFF.
- Ensure the exported file preserves all required curves and details.
3. Import into CorelDRAW
Once exported:
- Open CorelDRAW.
- Go to File → Import and select the exported PDF, SVG, or image.
- Place it on the canvas and adjust scale, layers, or colors.
- Save the project as .cdr.
4. Convert to Vector (Optional)
For editable graphics:
- Select imported raster elements in CorelDRAW.
- Use Bitmap → Outline Trace to convert into vector paths.
- Refine nodes, colors, and shapes as needed.
- Save as CDR.
5. Online Conversion via Conholdate
If CAD software is not available:
- Upload the IGS file to products.conholdate.app.
- Convert it to PDF or SVG.
- Download and open in CorelDRAW.
- Save as CDR for further editing.
⚠️ Important:
IGS is a 3D CAD format. CorelDRAW only handles 2D graphics, so conversion to 2D (SVG, PDF, or traced image) is required for editing in CDR.
