I am trying to import a very large *.igs file and I get an error stating:

“giges.exe has stopped working”

working on windows 7 with 4 gigs of ram and a very basic nvidia video card, but the file is also quite large (380 000 kb) is there any way to prevent this from happening or getting around this?

any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You can always split the geometry and import it in parts. Also when iges is loaded delete Cd attribute, it increases memory usage a lot. If possible before import try to get rid of the colour information as well, or apply to the geometry only one colour.

hope it helps
