IBL FILES

[ptc-2924347]

I RECENTLY WATCHED SOME VIDEO TUTORIALS ON SURFACE MODELING. IN ONW OF THE VIDEOS AN "IBL" FILE WAS LOADED INTO THE PART DRAWING. IT LOOKED TO BE A TEXT DOCUMENT CONTAINING XYZ COORDINATES. CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHAT THESE FILES ARE, HOW THEY ARE CREATED, WHAT THE FORMAT IS ,WHERE THEY ARE STORED(WORKING DIRECTORY?), AND THE FILE TYPE?

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Attached are PTC's limited view on what an IBL file is and how it is
structured. I have not used one in a real long time but when I did it was
from digitized data being brought into Pro/e. The way I use to look at the
format was to export one out of Pro/e but I can not find it in wildfire 4 .
Does anyone know where they put the save curve or points as IBL file at? I
do not know if there is ways to make it spline through the points or if it
was only just line to line connect I guess you can try it and see. Any
text editor will get you what you want just type in the values. The 3
numbers 30 50 40 are the xyz coordinates of the points.
