Does anyone know of a shareware or free cad editing software that you can create a coordinate system in, and then export in an .igs format? If so, this would be very useful for all CMM programmers using PCDMIS Cad++. Please Post.

Have you looked here? Lots of good stuff, I have never looked for CAD since I already have what I need.

Thanks Matt.. I too have the cad software available to me, but not all programmers do. I was hoping someone may know of a great little program that would serve us all in the event we did not have access to cad ware. I am currently using ProE to do all my cad editing.

I have Cadkey (much prefered), but I also have Surfcam (2nd choice) which is a NC programming software and I have UG (we HATE'S it, My precious!). They also have a couple more CAD/CAM softwares in the 'other' department, but I don't have them on my Pc.sigpic

Im a cadkey devotee too. I used to design using it. We now have Key Creator, which isnt much different to cadkey 99 as far as I can tell.
In answer to the original problem - there will be countless packages on Download.com.Recently jumped from 3.5 Mr 2 CAD
to 2012 CAD++

I have searched all over the internet, and to date, I haven't found anything that will handle iges format that is free. There are lots of nice free cad programs out there, but, because of open source licensing limitations they cannot offer iges or any other industry standard conversion.
That said, I do have a copy of stripped version of something that does not require licensing that I got from my old boss a few years ago, and it will convert to various formats and allows you to change coordinate systems as well as units. I have it on a cd and all you have to do is install it. I think it is something that was handed out as a freebie when you bought so many copies of the full version. This is not a pirate or illegal copy.
