Summary of File Export:
IGES	Geomet Exports the following IGES type entities:
	Type	Definition
	100	Circular Arc Entity
	104	Conic Arc Entity.
	108	Plane Entity.
	110	Line Entity.
	116	Point Entity.
	126	Rational B-Spline Curve Entity.
	128	Rational B-Spline Surface Entity.
	144	Trimmed (Parametric) Surface Entity.
	158	Sphere Entity.
	190	Plane Surface Entity.
	196	Spherical Surface Entity.
