File Extension | SAT |
Full Name | 3D ACIS Model Format |
Files with the .SAT extension contain a three-dimensional geometric model saved in the form of an ASCII text file in accordance with Spatial’s ACIS solid modeling standard.
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.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "SAT") to another (referred to as "IGS"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, SAT 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 SAT to format IGS becomes essential.
So, how can we perform SAT 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 SAT 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 SAT to IGS converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of SAT 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 SAT file:
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.
