Best Practices

Format Selection

  1. STEP: Best for 3D geometry exchange
  2. IGES: Legacy support, use STEP when possible
  3. DXF: Best for 2D CAD interoperability
  4. STL: 3D printing and visualization only

Conversion Quality

  1. Always verify dimensional accuracy after conversion
  2. Check for missing entities (arcs, splines, text)
  3. Validate layer structure preservation
  4. Test with small sample before batch processing

Automation

  1. Use Python scripting for repeatable tasks
  2. Create conversion templates for standard workflows
  3. Implement quality checks in CI/CD pipelines
  4. Document conversion parameters for reproducibility
