IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is a neutral graphics database format designed primarily for data exchange between mechanical CAD systems. The IGES file format links mechanical CAD systems to the 2D EDA design world. Two-dimensional geometry can be used to interchange layout, or package outline information.  The IGES format can represent both mechanical and electrical design data in two and three dimensions.
