Log file of the think3 to IGES conversion

When you save an IGES file, a log file of the conversion is created:

• in the same directory of the file you saved
• with the same name of the file you saved and the ".log" extension

The log file structure

• Report EKGK — a section reporting the results of the first step of the conversion process: the one from think3 format. Types and numbers of converted errors are listed, while two proper sub-sections show warnings and errors (if any).
• Report GDX — a section reporting the results of the conversion to the intermediate auxiliary "GDX" format, which is an internal format, not directly accessible by the user. Also this section shows warnings and errors (if any).
• Report IGES — a section reporting the final results of the conversion to the IGES format, such as type and number of entities, warnings and errors (if any).

Sub-sections about warnings and errors help you identify any kind of problem you might have had while converting a think3 file.
