.FIG File Extension

You can open a FIG file with The MathWorks MATLAB (multiplatform). To open a FIG file, click a plot in the "PLOTS" tab, then select File → Open. You can also open a FIG file using the openfig(filename) function.

The MathWorks MATLAB can convert FIG files to other file types, including the following formats:

• .JPG - JPEG Image
• .PNG - Portable Network Graphic
• .BMP - Bitmap Image
• .TIF - Tagged Image File Format
• .EPS - Encapsulated PostScript
• .PCX - Paintbrush Bitmap Image
• .PPM - Portable Pixmap Image
• .PDF - Portable Document Format

To convert a FIG file, click a plot in the "PLOTS" tab, then select File → Save As.

You can open FIG files in WinFIG, a cross-platform vector graphics editor application. To do so, select File → Open... from WinFIG's menu bar. Then, navigate to and open your FIG file.

You can use WinFIG to convert FIG files to many other file formats. Some of those formats include:

• .PDF - Portable Document Format
• .GIF - Graphical Interchange Format
• .JPEG - JPEG Image
• .PCX - Paintbrush Bitmap Image
• .PNG - Portable Network Graphic
• .EMF - Enhanced Windows Metafile
• .TEX - LaTeX Source Document
• .PS - PostScript File
• .EPS - Encapsulated PostScript File

Autodesk 3ds Max is a graphics program for creating 3D models, images, and animations. Video game animators often use 3ds Max to create models and scenes for video games, but film and television animators, engineers, and architects also use the software.

How to create a FIG file

To save a biped figure structure as a FIG file:

1. Select a biped
2. Click the Motion panel
3. Select Biped rollout
4. Click Figure Mode
5. Select Save File

3ds Max often saves FIG files with .CAL files, which add pose adjustment information.

NOTE: FIG files do not contain actual skeletal mesh or animation data.

You can open a FIG file with Autodesk 3ds Max in Windows. To open a FIG file:

1. Select a biped
2. Click the Motion panel
3. Select Biped rollout
4. Click Figure Mode
5. Select Load File

NOTE: When you open a FIG file, 3ds Max replaces the selected biped's pose and base parameters with the new figure. Therefore, you should save the current pose as a FIG file before you load the biped figure in another FIG file.

While users do not convert FIG files to other formats, you can load a FIG file, apply the pose to a biped, then save it to various formats with Autodesk 3ds Max, including the following file types:

• .FBX - Autodesk FBX Interchange File
• .AI - Adobe Illustrator Artwork
• .DWG - AutoCAD Drawing
• .DXF - Drawing Exchange Format
• .IGS - IGES Drawing
• .SAT - ACIS SAT 3D Model
• .STL - Stereolithography File
