This topic contains two tables. The information in the table:

  • appearing immediately after the screen capture of the Export Options - File Format - IGES 5.3 dialog corresponds to the settings on that dialog.

  • titled Obsolete Enumerators contains enumerators that previously appeared on the Export Options - File Format - IGES 5.3 dialog, but are now obsolete and no longer appear on that dialog.
