What changes when you convert AI to IGS
AI is a design format with no notion of real-world units, while IGS is a drawing format where one unit means one millimetre or one inch. Scale is the thing to watch: the geometry transfers, but the drawing arrives at whatever size the conversion assigns, so check dimensions against a known measurement before machining or plotting from it. One AI file can hold several pages or frames, while IGS holds one image each. reaConverter writes a separate output file per page and numbers them, so a single input can produce a whole folder of results.
