In the Options menu click Preferences. In the dialog that appears, click to uncheck New IGES Import in the General tab. (This setting is retained until you change it.)

example you select the types of entity to import. For full details click
the dialog's Help button, or click

When loading an IGES format ASCII file, you overwrite any existing

EdgeCAM supports two alternative IGES import systems
(Standard IGES Import and New IGES Import). If you have an IGES file that
does not load using the standard IGES translator we recommend that you
try loading it using the new translator.
