Unable to Set IGES Translation Parameters

I'm trying to set the author, company, and product parameters using the following code:

IGESControl_Writer writer;
Interface_Static::SetCVal("write.iges.header.company", "MyCompany");
Interface_Static::SetCVal("write.iges.header.product", "MyProduct");
Interface_Static::SetCVal("write.iges.header.author", "ThisIsMe");

However, I always get the default values in the output IGES file:

S0000001
,,31HOpen CASCADE IGES processor 6.2,13HFilename.iges, G0000001
16HOpen CASCADE 6.2,31HOpen CASCADE IGES processor 6.2,32,308,15,308,15,G0000002
,1.,2,2HMM,1,0.01,15H20080223.135350,0.0001,,4Hrice,,11,0, G0000003
15H20080223.135350,; G0000004
S 1G 4D 0P 0 T0000001

I've found that if I call writer.Model()->ApplyStatic() that the "author" and "company" values get set, but I cannot change the "product" header item.

Any guidance on how to modify these values?

Thanks.
Michael

Suman,

Be disciplined and patient to read the documentation. This can be more rewarding than just waiting for the answers on the forum.

Data Exchange User's Guide explains this.

//set export options (after initialization has been done)
Interface_Static::SetCVal ("write.iges.header.author", myAuthor.ToCString());
Interface_Static::SetCVal ("write.iges.header.company", myCompany.ToCString());
...

IGESCAFControl_Writer aWriter;
aWriter.Model()->ApplyStatic(); //to apply set parameters

The 'product' is not set 'as is' due to a bug in OCC IGESData_IGESModel::ApplyStatic(). You may want to fix it to process the 'product' case.

I tried this way, and it works for setting CVal variables.
But I not able to apply the 'mode' using the SetIVal("write.iges.writebrepmode.mode",1) i.e
change to BREP instead of the default 'Faces'.
thanks in advance

I had the same problem: trying to output using BRep mode with a IGESCAFControl_Writer. I took a look at the source code and it appears that there is no way to set it to BRep mode. Is there something I'm missing or should I just modify the source?
