Convert PAR to IGS
| File Extension | PAR |
| Full Name | Solid Edge Part CAD Format |
Files with the .PAR extension contain indexes - parity groups of files in the Parchive archive – namely parity volume set.
| File Extension | IGS |
| Full Name | IGES ASCII CAD Format |
The .igs file extension stands for IGES drawing file. This is a special type of 2D/3D vector graphic file which is based on the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification. This file is not vendor specific and thus allows more software to put it as their standard output format for the 2D and 3D models.
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "PAR") to another (referred to as "IGS"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, PAR file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format PAR to format IGS becomes essential.
So, how can we perform PAR to IGS file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format PAR and transforming it into format IGS. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of PAR to IGS converters.

How to convert the PAR file to IGS?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of PAR to IGS. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the PAR file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file PAR, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the PAR file to the application
- Select the output format of the IGS file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file IGS on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted IGS file that can be found in the location selected in step 4

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
