.ICON extension

[k turk]

i have received two files in both the native alias .wire extension and in an .iges format. the trick is that there is an additional .ICON extension following the normal extension.

 

example.iges.ICON or example.wire.ICON

 

i have never come across this, and can't open either file in any program i have. anyone know what this is?

 

thanks

try opening it in Paint or similar. Might be a simple graphics file.

or maybe you can rename *.iges

 

zonealarm used to rename extensions

try to "open with" notepad maybe you can see something in the header that will give you a clue,just make sure you don't click "always open with"

already tried paint . . . and lots of others. i know it was originally created in alias and is supposed to be a 3D model. also tried simply removing the .ICON extension, but no one wants to play. i have a phone call in for the fellow who created the file. just thought i would try here as well and try to get moving on this job. very curious as to what this is about.

 

thanks for the suggestion.
